Redevelopment Commission approves $10,000 forgivable loan for local homebuyer at 817 Merrill
Summary
The Hammond Redevelopment Commission approved a $10,000 homebound conditional forgivable loan for applicant Leah Patterson (817 Merrill) after brief Q&A; the vote was 5–0.
The Hammond Redevelopment Commission voted unanimously to approve a $10,000 homebound conditional forgivable loan to help purchase 817 Merrill. The applicant, identified in the meeting as Leah Patterson, answered a few intake questions about how she learned of the program and who her lender and realtor are.
Leah Patterson told commissioners she "heard about your program through my mom, who's my realtor, and my lender, who is Caroline Shook." Commissioners asked no substantive follow-up questions, and a motion to approve the loan was made and passed on a 5–0 roll call. The commission congratulated Patterson and offered the option to be excused or remain for the rest of the meeting.
