For example if a homebuyer receives a $50,000 loan from the City to purchase a home with a $200,000 sales price, the Equity Share percentage would be 25% ($50,000/$200,000). Therefore, upon sale, the $50,000 loan plus 25% of the home’s appreciation will be paid to the City. Additionally, a percentage of the Equity Share is forgiven for every year that you maintain the home as your primary residence. The Equity Share percentage is 100% forgiven after 30 years.
