This bill establishes the Housing Loan Assistance Pilot Program, administered by the Mississippi Development Authority (MDA), to provide low-interest (1%) loans to eligible residents in the ten poorest counties for home repair or construction, with specific income, age, disability, employment, and property ownership requirements. To fund this program, the state will issue up to $3,000,000 in general obligation bonds, with principal and interest primarily paid from a newly created Housing Loan Assistance Bond Sinking Fund. This fund will be replenished by an additional $3 fee added to the recording cost of every deed and deed of trust filed with the Chancery Clerk's office, which the clerk will then remit to the MDA.
