Commission amends Hammond homebound down-payment program to clarify awards and eligibility
Summary
The commission approved resolution 2026-05 to codify the Hammond homebound down-payment assistance program and update award and eligibility rules, explicitly noting provisions for Hammond police, teachers and fire personnel; passed 5-0.
The Hammond Redevelopment Commission voted unanimously to approve resolution 2026-05 on March 17, which codifies the City of Hammond homebound down-payment assistance program and amends award and eligibility requirements. The measure was moved by Commissioner Shelton and seconded; it passed 5-0 on roll call.
A staff presenter told the commission the change responds to requests from city professionals (police, teachers, fire) who had inquired about applying to the program. "This resolution is making sure that it's taken care of Hammond police, Hammond teachers, and Hammond fire," the presenter said. No substantive debate was recorded. The action formalizes eligibility adjustments but did not appropriate new funds at the meeting.
