UrbanTurf Reader Asks: What is HPAP's Definition of Livable?
In this installment of UrbanTurf Reader Asks, a reader inquires about what is meant by a "livable" home by HPAP standards. HPAP is the DC initiative that gives up to $40,000 in financial assistance to low and moderate-income individuals to purchase single-family homes, condominiums and apartments. We wrote a piece back in March about a young man who purchased a home using HPAP, and he noted that the program goes to great lengths to make sure that you aren't "walking into a house that is falling apart or one that you don’t know how to repair." Here is our reader's question:
When you purchase a home under HPAP guidelines, my only understanding is that it be "livable." In pragmatic terms, what is and isn't considered "livable" by the program's standards?
