 <br>Any [residential](https://movingsoon.co.uk) or commercial property, with the exception of tenant inhabited units dealing with code non-compliance problems, getting VHIP 2.0 can decide to get a 5-year grant.

 <br>Tenant Selection: If the Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) or the Homeownership Center (HOC) that provided the grant identifies that a home exiting homelessness is not readily available to lease the system, the proprietor shall rent the system to a household with an income equivalent to or less than 80 percent of area mean earnings.

 <br>10-Year Forgivable Loans<br>
