AGENDA ITEM WORDING:
A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE MONROE COUNTY'S STATE HOUSING INITIATIVES
PARTNERSHIP (SHIP) ADMINISTRATOR TO EXECUTE SHIP MORTGAGE
SUBORDINATION DOCUMENTS UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS FOR THE PURPOSE OF
ALLOWING THE REFINANCE OF EXISTING PRIMARY MORTGAGE LOANS AT IMPROVED
TERMS
ITEM BACKGROUND:
When residential mortgage rates decrease current homeowners with an existing SHIP second mortgage
request a Subordination of Mortgage, allowing them to refinance their existing primary mortgage. The
Monroe County BOCC has typically approved these requests upon staff recommendation.
Increasingly, the volatility of the residential mortgage market and rate lock periods the time required
for BOCC approval and execution is often not conducive to borrowers seeking improved primary
mortgage rates and terms. As a result fewer SHIP borrowers (low & moderate income) can
successfully refinance for improved rates/terms. This proposed resolution would eliminate this delay
while establishing specific criteria which must be adhered to as a means of protecting the financial
interest of Monroe County's SHIP funds.
