Landon Halverson is the Executive Director of the Weber Housing Authority. Persons whose household income ranges between $38,550 (or less) for one person to $75,700 for a family of eight, may be able to qualify for $5,000 in assistance toward a home purchase. Features of the program require the family to stay in the home for at least five years, at which time $4,000 of the assistance will be forgiven. Applicants must be first time homebuyers and must be able to qualify for a fixed rate mortgage using FHA, VA or conventional financing, based on their own credit history. And the applicants must use a minimum of $2,000 of their own money prior to closing. The home purchase price must not exceed $ 180,000 and the home must be within Weber County, but outside Ogden City. A required pre-purchase housing counseling program is provided to help potential buyers learn the basic responsibilities of home ownership. The first step for interested parties is to contact the Weber Housing Authority at 237 26th Street. E-mail and telephone contacts are: lhalverson@co.weber.ut.us or 801.399.8691.
