The event must have caused a reduction in household income by 20% or greater that lasted at least six months or longer.
Clients must have recovered from the “economic event” with the re-establishment of satisfactory credit for a minimum of 12 months. They must also attend housing counseling from an approved HUD Housing Counseling Agency a minimum of 30 days, but no more than six months, prior to submitting the loan application.
