Homeowner Needs and Community Engagement

What Quantitative Data Has Informed the Participant’s Planning?

Treasury will assess the extent to which a Participant has, in the course of its HAF planning process, relied on

quantitative data, including from community-based organizations or organizations that serve potentially

eligible homeowners. 

In its HAF planning process, has the Participant obtained quantitative data from mortgage servicers, private

data providers, government entities, community-based organizations, or other sources to inform its planning

about how to target and best serve eligible homeowners with mortgage delinquencies, defaults, foreclosures?

Yes

If yes, please list and, briefly describe each source of quantitative data.

·Data provided by Treasury – Treasury provided data, contributed by a number of federal

agencies, including information on mortgage delinquencies and forbearances, breakdowns by

demographic factors, and concentration among mortgage servicers.

·Data from Idaho Housing and Finance Association – Idaho Housing and Finance Association

analyzed its servicing portfolio for Idaho loans and was able use that data to forecast overall

need across the state. Data included comprehensive numbers on forbearances, mortgage

delinquencies and length of delinquency as well as demographics and loan types. IHFA is one of,

if not the largest servicer of federally backed loans in Idaho.

·Data from the Mortgage Bankers Association- Idaho used the MBA quarterly reports to review

delinquency and forbearance rates in Idaho

·Congressional Research Service- Unemployment Rates During the COVID-19 Pandemic

·United States Census Bureau- 2019 American Community Survey- Data used to determined

owner occupied rates and overall demographics in Idaho.

·Idaho Department of Commerce- Idaho’s Federal Community Development and Affordable

Housing Programs 2020-2024 Five- Year Consolidated Plan and 2020 Action Plan- Information

on the percentage of cost burdened Idahoans as related to housing costs. 

·Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta- Mortgage Analytics and Performance. This site provided

Idaho with data on mortgage forbearance by zip code and includes data on the minority and

low-income share of residents in each state. IHFA has used this data to determine zip codes to

target our outreach and marketing efforts for this program. In addition, these statistics support

the need for homeowner assistance across Idaho.

·Idaho Department of Labor, Research & Analysis and Public Affairs- Data on unemployment

by county.

·Urban Institute (2021)- Credit Health During the COVID 19 Pandemic

In its HAF planning process, has the Participant obtained and reviewed quantitative data or studies regarding

which demographic segments in its jurisdiction have historically experienced discrimination in the housing or

housing finance market?

Yes

If yes, please list and, briefly describe each source of quantitative data.

· Idaho Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice (2021). 

Idaho Housing and Finance Association gathers key data on those who have historically

experienced discrimination in housing and the housing finance market within its jurisdiction

annually in a report titled Idaho Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice. This report

looks at key demographics including population, age, disability, household size, income and

poverty, race and ethnicity and those with limited English proficiency (LEP). This report also

provides data on the housing market, including tenure, cost burdened families, rental market,

ownership market, and housing inventory. Lastly this report looks at economic indicators such as

employment, unemployment, industries, and commuting. This data is aggregated from various

sources including LEHD Origin Destination Employment Statistics (LODES) Dataset, US Census

ACS 5-Year, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics Local Area Unemployment Statistics. This

report is updated annually and reviewed to ensure IHFA’s commitment to furthering support for

fair housing. This data was used to help determine which areas and demographics IHFA will

target with its HAF plan.

In its HAF planning process, has the Participant obtained quantitative data from utility providers or entities

charged with assessing and collecting property taxes or relied on quantitative data or studies to inform its

planning about how to target and best serve eligible homeowners at risk of displacement due to utility

arrearage or tax foreclosure?

Yes

If yes, please list and, briefly describe each source of quantitative data.

· Data obtained from Lereta Tax Services – IHFA uses Lereta Tax services for its servicing

portfolio. We have used this service throughout the pandemic to understand the property tax

delinquencies across the state.

In the following text box, please list any source not listed above of quantitative information, including

sources of data on the performance of any of the Participant’s previously implemented programs, that the

Participant used to inform its HAF planning process, briefly describe how the data informed the Participant’s

planning.

IHFA is currently administrating the Emergency Rental Assistance Program across Idaho as

provided by the U.S. Department of Treasury. IHFA plans to use similar procedures and

processes to administer the HAF program. These include:

Dedicated staff to answer questions, take phone applications, review applications, and provide

housing counseling referrals. IHFA will have a dedicated phone line/extension to handle these

calls.

In 2013, IHFA was selected to administrate the Emergency Homeowner's Loan Program as a

substantially similar state. IHFA successfully administered the program and provided millions of
HAF Grantee Plan - HAFP-0035 -State of Idaho - Extracted 02/16/2022 16:16:25 Page 5 of 24

dollars of mortgage assistance to Idahoans during the recession to help prevent foreclosure and

stabilize housing. IHFA has experience in providing large-scale assistance programs and has

resources available to succeed. IHFA will use best practices from both the Emergency Rental

Assistance Program and the former Emergency Homeowners Loan Program to provide a

detailed, yet streamlined process for Idaho homeowners to save their homes and get back on

track with their mortgages.

Did the Participant communicate with mortgage servicers regarding the development of its program design?

Yes

Did the Participant communicate with other HAF participants regarding the development of its program

design?

Yes

How Has Community Engagement and Public Participation Informed the

Participant’s Planning?

Treasury will assess the extent to which a Participant’s assessment of homeowner needs has been informed

by and reflects input from organizations and individuals representing eligible homeowners, including any

opportunities for public participation in the development of the Participant’s plan. Treasury will pay

particular attention to the extent of the Participant’s engagement with populations that are the subject of

statutory targeting requirements.

IHFA has done significant research and community engagement on the housing needs of citizens

across Idaho during the Covid-19 pandemic. IHFA regularly engages with social service

organizations across the state to provide affordable housing and work to stabilize housing for all

Idahoans.

IHFA collaborates and communicates regularly with over one hundred different agencies

including counties and cities to ensure that all communities, especially those that are

economically and socially disadvantaged have a voice and have resources available to them. As a

state housing and finance agency and as a loan servicer, IHFA is deeply engaged with the

housing needs across the state. With offices in five different regions, IHFA has first-hand

knowledge of the needs across the entire state. 

IHFA is a HUD approved housing counseling agency. In mid-2020, IHFA saw a need to engage

the community on the topics of forbearance and housing stability. IHFA created a statewide

housing counseling campaign targeting those on forbearance or those needing housing assistance.

The outreach was aimed at helping Idahoans:

• Understand forbearance and next steps

• Identify resources and solutions for housing problems

• Give information about housing resources, rights, and responsibilities

• Provide financial planning tools

• Review credit reports and help with a debt-reduction plan

• Develop a budget with homeownership in mind

• Apply for housing assistance

• Prioritize and budget for housing stability

• Help to identify solutions for maintaining utilities

• Make referrals to Idaho Legal Aid for landlord/tenant issues

Through this community outreach campaign, IHFA has been able to see the housing related

needs affecting Idahoans specifically resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Idaho Housing and Finance Association held a Public Hearing on June 9, 2021, to take public

testimony on the Idaho Homeowner Reinstatement Program. IHFA followed public meeting law

in Idaho.

How Will the Participant Continue to Assess the Needs of Eligible

Homeowners?

Treasury anticipates that an ongoing process of assessing the needs of eligible homeowners will help address

the needs of potentially eligible homeowners as economic conditions change over time.

Does the Participant plan to update its assessment of community needs within the next year to determine

whether its HAF program design should be updated to address changing needs of potentially eligible

homeowners?

Yes

Program Design

What are the Program Design Elements Through Which the Participant Will

Deliver HAF Assistance to Eligible Homeowners?

A program design element is a specific activity or program, which is consistent with a qualified expense

category, under which a Participant will disburse HAF funds in accordance with the HAF Plan. Please note

that multiple program design elements may fit under a single qualified expense category; for example, a

mortgage assistance program that has different terms for federally backed mortgages and manufactured-home

mortgages may constitute two separate program design elements, for which case the Participant provides a

separate term sheet or other description for each program design element. 

HAF participants must have at least one program design element intended to reduce mortgage delinquency

among targeted populations. Treasury encourages HAF participants to consider program design elements that

address homeownership preservation for targeted populations in areas where there is a sustained trend of

increasing property taxes or utility costs, including for households that do not have mortgages.

Please identify each qualified expense category in which the Participant will offer a program design element

by checking the boxes below.

mortgage payment assistance 

 mortgage principal reduction, including with respect to a second mortgage provided by a nonprofit

or government entity 

 payment assistance for homeowner’s utilities, including electric, gas, home energy, and water 

 payment assistance for homeowner’s insurance, flood insurance, and mortgage insurance 

 payment assistance for delinquent property taxes to prevent homeowner tax foreclosures 

 payment assistance for down payment assistance loans provided by nonprofit or government

entities 

 financial assistance to allow a homeowner to reinstate a mortgage or to pay other housing-related

costs related to a period of forbearance, delinquency, or default 

facilitating mortgage interest rate reductions 

 payment assistance for homeowner’s internet service, including broadband internet access service,

as defined in 47 CFR 8.1(b) 

 payment assistance for homeowner’s association fees or liens, condominium association fees, or

common charges 

 measures to prevent homeowner displacement, such as home repairs to maintain the habitability of

a home or assistance to enable households to receive clear title to their properties 
HAF Grantee Plan - HAFP-0035 -State of Idaho - Extracted 02/16/2022 16:16:25 Page 11 of 24

For each program design element that the Participant will offer, the Participant is required to upload a term

sheet or other description, that, at a minimum, provides the following information regarding that program

design element. Term sheets for all of Participant’s HAF programs may be uploaded together as one

document.

IDAHO HAF Term Sheets updated 12.9.21 12/14/2021 12:56 PM

A HAF participant may elect to revise its HAF Plan over time to add or subtract program design elements.

Does the Participant anticipate adding additional program design elements to this HAF Plan within one year

of this submission?

No

Treasury has provided sample term sheets to assist HAF participants in developing their HAF plans.

Participants may use these sample term sheets, in whole or in part, as part of their submission. To the extent

the Participant intends to structure the program differently with respect to significant program terms

described in the Sample Term Sheets, Treasury will, in the course of its review of the HAF Plan, request a

justification for how the alternate approach will further the objectives of the HAF, including targeting and

prioritization requirements. In the chart below, the HAF Participant may provide a justification for significant

deviations from the terms described in the sample term sheets upon initial submittal. (optional for initial

submission)

Documentation of Homeowner Income

Homeowners are eligible to receive amounts allocated to a HAF participant under the HAF only if they have

incomes equal to or less than 150% of the area median income or 100% of the median income for the United

States, whichever is greater. In addition, not less than 60% of amounts made available to each HAF

participant must be used for qualified expenses that assist homeowners having incomes equal to or less than

100% of the area median income or equal to or less than 100% of the median income for the United States,

whichever is greater. The HAF guidance describes permissible ways for HAF participants to determine

homeowner income.

Under the HAF guidance, one permissible approach for determining income is for (1) the household to

provide a written attestation as to household income and (2) the HAF participant to use a reasonable

fact-specific proxy for household income, such as reliance on data regarding average incomes in the

household’s geographic area. Will the Participant allow income to be determined in this way?

No

Under the HAF guidance, HAF participants may provide waivers or exceptions to this documentation

requirement as reasonably necessary to accommodate extenuating circumstances, such as disabilities,

practical challenges related to the pandemic, or a lack of technological access by homeowners; in these cases,

the HAF participant is still responsible for making the required determination regarding household income
HAF Grantee Plan - HAFP-0035 -State of Idaho - Extracted 02/16/2022 16:16:25 Page 12 of 24

and documenting that determination. Will the Participant allow applicants to request such waivers or

exceptions?

Yes

Eligible Mortgage Types

Please indicate which of the following mortgage types are eligible to be assisted under one or more of the

Participant’s program design elements.

 First Mortgages 

 Reverse Mortgages (Home Equity Conversion Mortgages, Single-Purposes Reverse Mortgages, or

Proprietary Reverse Mortgages) 

 Contracts for Deed or Land Contract (if it is a credit transaction secured by a consensual security

interest in a dwelling) 

 Second Mortgages 

 Loans Secured by Manufactured Housing (secured by real estate or dwelling) 

If the Participant excludes any of the forgoing mortgage types from one or more program design elements,

explain the exclusion.

How Will the Participant Target HAF Resources Consistent with Statutory

Requirements? 

The Participant must describe how it will target HAF resources in accordance with the HAF guidance.

Targeting strategies are affirmative efforts to inform, encourage the participation of, and facilitate access to

resources for targeted households, including by offering multiple intake formats, engaging with nonprofit

organizations (e.g., housing counselors or legal services organizations) to provide additional pathways into

the program, and providing community outreach, partnerships with housing counseling agencies or legal aid

organizations, or other educational services that are aligned with the HAF participant’s program design, in a

manner that is culturally and linguistically relevant to the targeted communities.

Defining Socially Disadvantaged Individual

Please describe the process the Participant will use to determine whether a homeowner is a “socially

disadvantaged individual” as defined in the HAF guidance.

As part of the HAF application and intake process, participants will be asked if the meet any of

the following criteria:

(1) member of a group that has been subjected to racial or ethnic prejudice or cultural bias

within American society, (2) resident of a majority-minority Census tract; ( 3) individual with

limited English proficiency; (4) resident of an Indian reservation, or (5) individual who lives in a

persistent-poverty county, meaning any county that has had 20% or more of its population living

in poverty over the past 30 years as measured by the three most recent decennial censuses. 
HAF Grantee Plan - HAFP-0035 -State of Idaho - Extracted 02/16/2022 16:16:25 Page 13 of 24

Criteria for numbers 2 and 5 above will be based on counties that meet the criteria. IHFA will

pre-determine this and automatically include individuals if their home is within those counties.

Public Communications

Will the Participant engage in a public communications campaign to raise awareness among targeted

populations about the availability of HAF resources, in media such as television, newspapers, online media,

or social media?

Yes

If yes, please indicate whether the public communications campaign will include communications that

primarily target the following populations:

 Homeowners earning less than 100% of area median income 

 member of a group that has been subjected to racial or ethnic prejudice or cultural bias within

American society; 

 resident of a majority-minority Census tract; (3) 

 resident of a U.S. territory, Indian reservation, or Hawaiian Home Land 

 homeowners in persistent poverty counties; 

 individual with limited English proficiency 

Please indicate in which languages, in addition to English, public communications to targeted populations

will be undertaken:

Spanish; Other

Please list any other languages.

there is a need for marketing in languages other than Spanish or English we will translate

material accordingly.

Outreach

Will the Participant engage in outreach through partnerships with organizations that focus primarily on

serving homeowners earning incomes below 100% of area median income or socially disadvantaged

individuals and that have the capacity to engage targeted communities in a culturally and linguistically

relevant manner to encourage the submission of applications for HAF resources from targeted populations?

Yes

If yes, please indicate whether the community outreach efforts will include partnerships with organizations

that primarily target the following populations:
