Unemployment Bridge Program
The Kentucky Unemployment Bridge Program (UBP) is a new forgivable loan option for eligible homeowners to assist them in making their mortgage payments. To be eligible, the homeowner must have experienced a job loss or reduction in income due to changing economic conditions, through no fault of their own, and demonstrate a need for assistance.
The UBP is not for job or income loss due to divorce, death, or disability.
The job-related event must have occurred since January 1, 2009. The maximum amount of assistance is $20,000 or 12 months, whichever occurs first. Of the $20,000, the maximum amount that may be used for reinstatement–all related fees and payments to bring your loan(s) current–is $7,500. To get started, click on Get Free Help at the top of the page.
Participants must meet the following guidelines and the mortgage must be with a participating servicer.
•Maximum amount of liens on the property cannot exceed $275,000.
•Maximum of two liens permitted on the property.
•Borrower’s principal, interest, taxes, and insurance (PITI) must exceed 31 percent of the gross monthly income, or
•Borrower must experience a 15 percent reduction in income.
•Maximum liquid reserves is six months PITI (excluding retirement funds).
•Borrowers must sign a hardship affidavit acknowledging the reduction in income due to no fault of their own.
•UBP is only available to borrowers whose mortgage servicing company agrees to partner with Kentucky Housing Corporation. A borrower cannot receive assistance if their servicer has not enrolled as a participating servicer. See if your servicing company is on this list. ◦If a second mortgage servicer IS NOT on the participating servicer list AND the borrower is current and willing to continue making the second mortgage payments WITHOUT UBP assistance, the borrower must complete the UBP Second Lien Notice.

Ms. Katrina Akande is conducting a research study at the University of Kentucky about the parenting experiences of Black fathers who live apart from one or more of their children.

Fathers may be eligible to participate if they:

•Live apart from one or more of their children who are between the ages of 2 and 17,
•Are willing to complete an online questionnaire or be interviewed via phone.
For further information, please visit www.ket.org/cgi-bin/cheetah/watch_video.pl?nola=KCWRS_000641&altdir=&template to see Katrina discussing fathers who live apart from their children.

Waiting For Superman
The Kentucky Society for Clinical Social Work and the Children's Law Center have united in hopes of encouraging all of us to have a bigger presence in our schools and a greater knowledge of programs and policies that affect our children's educations.
To get the school year started off right, the two groups are hosting a free showing of Waiting for Superman, a documentary by director Davis Guggenheim (An Inconvenient Truth) that follows five students in as many states as they try to win a lottery that would allow them to attend charter schools and avoid neighborhood schools with high dropout rates.
What:Free showing of Waiting for Superman and panel discussion: "How social workers and all community members can be advocates for our public schools."
When: 6-9 p.m. Aug. 25.
Where: Lexington Public Library, 140 East Main St.
