Sec. 8-265i. Reverse annuity mortgage program.

(a) The Connecticut Housing Finance Authority shall implement a program under which reverse annuity mortgages may be issued to homeowners seventy years of age or older in need of long-term care to remain in their homes and to avoid entering a nursing home.

(b) Any mortgage shall be for a term of not more than six years. The Connecticut Housing Finance Authority shall establish written procedures, in accordance with section 1-121, setting forth eligibility criteria for homeowners and specifying medical and other costs that may be covered by loan payments.

(c) The Connecticut Housing Finance Authority shall not foreclose on any home with respect to which a loan has been made pursuant to this section as long as the homeowner to whom such loan was made continues to reside in such home. The Connecticut Housing Finance Authority shall, from its own resources, repay loans on properties not sold at the termination of the loan agreement with the owner due to the continued residence of such owner in such property.
