KENTUCKY HOUSING CORPORATION 

KENTUCKY UNEMPLOYMENT BRIDGE PROGRAM 

Summary Guidelines 

1. Program Overview The Kentucky Housing Corporation’s (KHC) Kentucky 

Unemployment Bridge Program (UBP) will provide funds to 

lenders and servicers on behalf of qualified homeowners who 

are delinquent on their mortgage payments or anticipate default 

due to unemployment or substantial underemployment (loss of 

income). Maximum assistance per household is set at $10,000. 

There is a time limit of 12 months for households to utilize the 

assistance – assistance ends at the earlier to occur of 12 months 

from the loan closing or receipt of $10,000 in assistance, so long 

as other conditions of eligibility are met and continue. Funds 

will be available on a first-come/first-served basis. 

Borrowers will enter the UBP through the statewide 

Homeownership Protection Center operated by KHC. 

Applications will be processed by housing counseling agencies 

who will return the application to KHC for final underwriting, 

loan closing, disbursements and loan servicing. Borrowers will 

not be required to make any portion of the monthly payment. If 

a household qualifies for the UBP, program funds will be used 

for 100 percent of the monthly payment. 

2. Program Goals To prevent avoidable foreclosure for homeowners who have 

experienced loss of income due to unemployment or substantial 

underemployment by providing funds to pay the household’s 

mortgage payments during the period of 

unemployment/underemployment and for two months after reemployment, if needed, up to the maximum dollar threshold for 

assistance of $10,000. 

3. Target Population / 

Areas 

The UBP will be available statewide. No specific population is 

targeted. During the first 12 months of the UBP, $10,000,000 

will be set aside to serve rural counties. 

4. Total Allocation 

(Excluding 

Administrative 

Expenses) 

$138,942,009.51 
TAMPA/134450.1 

5. Borrower Eligibility 

Criteria 

All borrowers must submit a hardship affidavit 

documenting inability to pay their mortgage.

Housing counselors and KHC will determine eligibility for the 

UBP. Eligible households must meet ALL of the following 

requirements: 

• The homeowners must be legal U.S. residents. 

• The financial hardship (loss of employment income) 

must have occurred after January 1, 2009. 

• Monthly payment of principal, interest, taxes and 

insurance (PITI) including both first and second lien 

mortgages must exceed 31 percent of the borrower’s 

monthly gross income at time of application for the HHF 

funds, including any unemployment benefits. 

• The homeowner’s cash reserves cannot exceed six 

months, excluding retirement. For purposes of the UBP, 

“cash reserves” includes reasonable and sufficient funds 

(as defined by the Internal Revenue Service Financial 

Collection Standards) for the payment of food, clothing, 

housekeeping supplies and miscellaneous household 

expenses, out-of-pocket health care expenses, utilities, 

child care and transportation. 

• The homeowner must be experiencing a financial 

hardship due to involuntary loss or reduction in 

employment income documented by an executed 

hardship affidavit. Unemployment or underemployment 

as the result of a documented short-term disability will 

also qualify. 

• Payments due on the homeowner’s mortgage(s) must 

have been current for 12 months preceding the 

unemployment and/or underemployment event. 

• The homeowner must agree to provide monthly 

verification of continued program-qualifying financial 

hardship due to unemployment or substantial 

underemployment during the term of UBP participation. 

• The homeowner must be currently seeking employment 

and/or participating in a job training/educational 

program with the goal of obtaining employment during 

the term of assistance.

combined. 

• Borrower owns other real property 

• Borrower’s hardship is a result of voluntary resignation 

of employment or voluntary reduction in hours or 

income. 

• Borrower has consummated a cash-out refinance after

investment properties. 

• Borrower is participating in or eligible for other loss 

mitigation options. 

• Borrower does not occupy the property as its primary

TAMPA/134450.1 

8. Structure of Assistance All assistance will be structured as a 0% interest, nonamortizing, forgivable, nonrecourse loan, secured by a 

junior lien on the property, which will be forgiven 20 

percent each year over five years. 

The loan will only be repayable if the borrower sells the 

property before the period expires and there is sufficient equity 

to pay the loan. 

All funds returned to the UBP may be recycled until December 

31, 2017, thereafter they will be returned to Treasury. 

9. Per Household 

Assistance 

Estimated Median - $8,000 

Maximum Assistance - $10,000 

10. Duration of Assistance Payment of assistance will end on the first to occur of: (1) 12 

months from assistance loan closing date, (2) two months after 

re-employment, (3) the expenditure of the maximum amount of 

assistance ($10,000) or (4) the household no longer complies 

with other required program provisions. 

In the case of a new qualifying event of unemployment or 

underemployment, the household may re-apply for assistance. 

Provided, however that new assistance will be made available 

only to the extent assistance is available, up to the maximum 

total assistance for the household and the maximum time period 

for assistance has not been exhausted. 

11. Estimated Number of 

Participating 

Households 

KHC is estimating that between 4,500 and 5,700 households 

will be served over the term of the UBP. 

12. Program Inception / 

Duration 

KHC will implement the UBP in two stages, with the first loan 

closings expected within 90 days after approval by Treasury. 

This first phase of the UBP will serve as a pilot period. Full 

implementation to all qualified borrowers statewide would be 

within 180 days of approval of the plan by Treasury and is 

anticipated to last three years. 

13. Program Interaction 

with Other Programs 

(e.g. other HFA 

programs) 

The UBP will be leveraged with existing programs including the 

Homeownership Protection Center (HPC), the Homeownership 

Education and Counseling Program funded through HUD and 

KHC and the NeighborWorks Foreclosure Mitigation 

Counseling Program (NFMC). Homeowners who participate in 

the UBP will work with a KHC-approved counselor and utilize 

the Homeownership Protection Center website for their initial 

information. 
TAMPA/134450.1 

14. Program Interactions 

with HAMP 

KHC and housing counselors will assist borrowers in ensuring 

households will have used all other loss mitigation options, 

including HAMP UP, before being eligible for UBP funds. 

HHF funds will only be used to pay for counseling that is 

necessary and incidental to participation in the UBP program. 

15. Program Leverage with 

Other Financial 

Resources 

No investor match is required for this program. 

This program will not be combined with other financial 

resources.
