The HMFA initiated the Developmental Disability Home Ownership Program in order to assist individuals with disabilities to purchase a home and/or to modify a residence to make it accessible for the prospective homeowner. The program is available to prospective borrowers who have a developmental disability, who are at least 18 years of age, who have the legal capacity (or a co-signer with the legal capacity) to enter into contract, and who can demonstrate sufficient income to support the mortgage loan. Additionally, the Division of Developmental Disabilities Regional Office Assistant Director (RAD), Intake Manager, or other appropriate DDD designee must refer eligible borrowers, in writing consistent with requirements of the Department of Human Services 1994 Capital Bond Act.
