Family Mortgage Program The Industrial Development Authority of the County of Maricopa recently teamed with the City of Phoenix IDA to offer $ 30 million to first- time home-buyers. This initial offering is the first phase of a larger program, which will make more than $ 100 million available for people in the county over the next year. Under this program, qualifying individ-uals or families have been able to take advantage of 30- year fixed loans at a 5.59 percent interest rate. Or, borrow-ers have the opportunity to employ a 6.19 percent interest rate that includes 4 percent down payment/ closing cost assistance. This initial offering will pro-vide mortgages to more than 1,000 homeowners that may otherwise not be able to afford a home. These funds have been reserved to assist buyers with the acquisition and rehabilitation of houses needing repair, or families purchasing homes in targeted areas. Financing for these fully assumable loans is available on new or existing homes, condomini-ums, townhouses or manufactured homes on a first- come, first- serve basis. This offering is a great benefit for state employees, because many of our state employees fall within the income levels. Anyone interested in future bond offerings should contact the IDA for more information. To qualify for a home, annual household incomes must fall within a specified range, and applicants must not have owned a home for at least the last three years, unless the home is located in one of the IDA’s “ targeted areas.” For specific details, call the Single Family Mortgage Loan Program Information Line at ( 602) 506- 7294 or check the Web site at www. mcida. com. Free Mini- Health screening includes: q Blood Pressure and Percent of Body Fat Check q Height/ Weight/ Frame Size Assessment q Cholesterol and Blood Sugar Check ( blood draw) q Personal & Confidential report mailed to your home The above screening is on a first-come, first- served basis, and takes between 5 and 15 minutes. An 8 hour fasting period before this screening is required. Men 40 and over can get a prostate cancer ( PSA) screening exam by blood draw. Women age 40 and over and post-menopausal* women under age 40 are eligible for a free osteoporosis screening. Screening takes as little as 10 minutes and there is no appoint-ment necessary. People who do not meet these qualifications can also have an osteoporosis screening for a co- pay of $ 30.00. * Postmenopausal means you have completed “ natural menopause” or you have had both ovaries surgically removed.
