Funded through Saint Paul HRA, federal HOME/CDBG, ARPA, and local foundation contributions, the assistance is structured as a 0% interest deferred forgivable loan, forgiven over a 5-year compliance period (typical structure - check current PED guidelines for cycle-specific terms) so long as the borrower maintains owner-occupancy. The City explicitly markets this as a deferred forgivable loan that, in practice, functions as a grant if compliance is maintained.
