The Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 H.R.3221

Congress passed and President Bush signed the "Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008", or the H.R.3221 bill as it is being referred to, this past week.  Two especially interesting aspects of the bill are: 1- that the tax credit being offered is an after purchase benefit that must be paid back to the government and 2 -the bill eliminates seller funded down payment assistance, however it does not eliminate legitimate down payment assistance administered by HUD approved community development agencies such as Affordable Housing Resources and the Housing Fund.  With this in mind, there are still several home loans available to offer down payment assistance to home buyers.
