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 $25,000. 

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 $25,000 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 and up to $7,500 in 

reinstatement fees to include homeowner’s delinquent balance 

late fees, penalty interest, taxes, insurance and protective 

advances. 

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 reinstate, 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 $25,000. 

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) 

$133,550,000.00 
TAMPA/189248.1 

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 must be loss of employment 

income. 

• 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, or the 

homeowner must be experiencing at least a 15% 

reduction in income. 

• The homeowner’s cash reserves cannot exceed six 

months, excluding retirement. For purposes of the UBP, 

“cash reserves” is defined as non-retirement liquid assets 

sufficient to pay the household’s PITI for their home 

mortgage(s). 

• The homeowner must be experiencing a financial 

hardship due to involuntary loss or reduction in 

homeowner's income documented by an executed 

hardship affidavit. 

• The homeowner must contact KHC or their counselor if 

there is a change in income or employment during the 12 

months of UBP participation. 

6. Property / Loan 

Eligibility Criteria 

Property/Loan Eligibility Requirements: 

• Owner-occupied primary residence located in Kentucky. 

• Existing single-family homes or condominiums (attached 

or detached) and manufactured or mobile homes on 

foundations permanently affixed to real estate owned by 

the borrower.

• Borrower’s total unpaid principal balances exceed 

$275,000, including first and second mortgages 
TAMPA/189248.1 

combined. 

• Borrower owns other residential property. 

• Borrower’s hardship is a result of voluntary resignation 

of employment or voluntary reduction in hours or 

income. 

• Borrower’s application is for a second home or 

investment properties. 

• Borrower does not occupy the property as its primary 

residence. 

• Borrower’s present household income is sufficient to pay 

mortgage expenses (mortgage payment does not exceed 

31 percent of gross income) or the Borrower has not 

experienced at least a 15 percent reduction in income. 

The UBP will not fund job training costs. 

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 - $9,600

Maximum Assistance - $25,000 

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 ($25,000) 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. 
TAMPA/189248.1 

11. Estimated Number of 

Participating 

Households 

KHC is estimating that between 5,342 and 13,000 households 

will be served over the term of the UBP. 

12. Program Inception / 

Duration 

KHC implemented the UBP in two stages. This first phase of 

the UBP began January 3, 2011 to serve as a pilot period. Full 

implementation to all qualified borrowers statewide began April 

1, 2011. The program will expire December 31, 2017. 

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. 

14. Program Interactions 

with HAMP 

KHC and housing counselors will analyze borrowers for their 

eligibility for the Hardest Hit Unemployment Bridge Program as 

well as any other loss mitigation options that may be available to 

them. Where possible, HHF assistance will precede HAMP UP.

15. Program Leverage with 

Other Financial 

Resources

This program will not be combined with other financial 

resources.
