5. Evidence of subsidy delivery must
be provided to show that the AHP subsidy was passed through to

6. AHP funds disbursed by the member to the sponsor or project
must be secured by a deed restriction or other legally enforceable
retention agreement. A fully executed
agreement between the member, project sponsor, and owner must be submitted
to the FHLB Chicago with the funding request. The member is required
to record the retention agreement.
It is the member's responsibility to ensure that the retention
documents satisfy the requirements of the AHP regulations and
that they are legally enforceable by the member against the project.
The Chicago FHLB will not review the member's retention document
for the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of the
document.
Projects using Low Income Housing Tax Credits
(LIHTC) or HUD 202 or 811 financing require specific language
to ensure compliance with those funding sources.
Projects using Low Income Housing Tax Credits
should use the following sample document:
• Sample Repayment Agreement for Rental Projects With LIHTC
Project's using HUD 202 or 811 financing must record a Deed of Trust or Mortgage with the following Rider. The
language in the HUD 202/811 Rider is prescribed by HUD and may
not be modified.

7. Rental projects involving the rehabilitation
of occupied housing where the current tenants will remain,
must submit a Tenant Income Worksheet
listing the current occupants of the building. The information
provided on the worksheet allows the FHLB Chicago to confirm that
rents are affordable and that current tenants are eligible for
the AHP subsidy and meet the commitments made in the AHP application.
Please review the Tenant Income Worksheet Definitions
for help with completing the Tenant Income Worksheet.
