Programs similar to this are available in almost every community in Cuyahoga County. Give me a call if you want to know the specifics of this program or any of the other Programs that are available.
I am checking with the City of Parma, to see if there are any restrictions when it comes to combining this program with the $8,000 Federal Stimulus or the OHFA Mortgage Credit Certificates program.
UPDATE 3/2/2009 I did recieve a note from the city that said borrowers can recieve these funds as well as the Federal Stimulus.
