Single-Family Mortgage Program Federally Targeted Census Tracts

New Targeted Area Census Tracts

Effective with loans reserved January 6, 2014 or after the IRS has updated the qualified targeted areas based on the 2010 census.  A “qualified census tract” is a census tract in which 70 percent or more of the families have income that is 80 percent or less of the statewide median family income.

Targeted Area Census Tracts apply to all MFA Programs with the exception of HERO

Any borrower who purchases a property that is within a qualified census tract is:

• Eligible to receive the lowest interest rate offered by MFA within a 12 month period from the date of application (lender must contact MFA Homeownership Department);
• Eligible to receive higher income and acquisition cost limits (lender must contact MFA Homeownership Department);
