9-7-120. Priorities in commitment of monies.
The authority shall require as a condition to receiving any of its money under this chapter that any mortgage lender receiving money, within the limitation imposed by the amount of money received, shall give reasonable priority to mortgage loan applications made directly to the mortgage lender by qualified, individual home purchasers, before committing any money received from the authority to contractors, builders, real estate developers or real estate agents, except to the extent the authority determines there is a need to encourage the construction of affordable housing and it is reasonable and appropriate to provide or permit commitments to alleviate such need. Any money committed by a mortgage lender to an individual home purchaser under this act may be used for the purchase of new or existing residential dwellings.
