to job loss or medical expenses the HRA would offer to forgive the loan at the same percentage as
the first mortgage is forgiving and that the Loan Review Committee has the authority to review
the short sale request and negotiate and approve short sale loan forgiveness. A Satisfaction of
Mortgage will be executed at the time the Loan Review Committee approves the short sale
