Garfield is making a new push to offer $600,000 in zero-interest home improvement loans, using cash from affordable housing deals cut in 2004 with Franklin Lakes, Montvale and Rochelle Park. Garfield was the second municipality in Bergen County, after Fairview, to begin receiving money for home improvement loans through the Council on Affordable Housing's Regional Contribution Agreement mechanism. With these so-called RCAs, Franklin Lakes, Montvale and Rochelle Park opted to send $2.5 million to Garfield rather than build or redevelop low- and moderate-income housing within their own borders.
It's meant to help low-income homeowners preserve their homes," said Brendan Moles, housing loans manager for the local council, which covers Missoula, Mineral and Ravalli counties. The council's homeowner rehabilitation and repair loan program offers loans up to $24,500 at 5.5 percent simple interest - as opposed to compound interest - with monthly payments tailored to each borrower's unique budget.
By PAUL GORES Home improvement loans for up to $10,000 are available to homeowners who have mortgages through the Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority.

Applications for zero-interest, home-improvement loans are now available to O'Fallon homeowners at the O'Fallon Municipal Centre (City Hall), 100 N. Main St. Homeowners who qualify for the loan program are eligible to obtain one-time loans of up to $5,000 through the city's Community Development Block Grant program. The city will begin accepting completed applications Feb. 21-24 at the Municipal Centre on a first-come-first-served basis. We have only so many openings and they are usually filled by people standing in line when City Hall opens on the first day, Tryla Brown, O'Fallon's CDBG administrator.
The rules governing the deductibility of mortgage points and interest are complex, and taxpayers should be aware of them to properly structure residential financing. Under IRC section 461(g)(2), points are treated as interest, which is currently deductible, if paid directly by the buyer out of the buyer's own funds. Fees taken out directly by the lender do not qualify as interest and create original issue discount. Home improvement loans and other financing that is not for a purchase-money mortgage will require different tax treatment.
DAYTON -- Montgomery County residents who can't afford home repairs may be eligible for low- or no-interest loans including some that don't have to be repaid until they move or refinance their property. This is a good deal for senior citizens because they don't have to make monthly loan payments," said Marlene J. Flagel, president of County Corp, Montgomery County's economic development and affordable- housing agency.
