<p></font></font></font><strong><font size="1" face="TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT"><font size="1" face="TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT"></p>
<p align="left">Is this a City of Edina program?</p>
<p></font></font></strong><font size="1" face="TimesNewRomanPSMT"><font size="1" face="TimesNewRomanPSMT"></p>

<p align="left">What is the Edina Housing Foundation?</p>
<p></font></font></strong><font size="1" face="TimesNewRomanPSMT"><font size="1" face="TimesNewRomanPSMT"></p>
<p align="left">The Edina Housing Foundation (EHF) is a non-profit corporation that provides financial assistance to Edina home</p>
<p align="left">buyers in an effort to attract new families to the Edina community.</p>
<p></font></font><strong><font size="1" face="TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT"><font size="1" face="TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT"></p>

<p></font></font></strong><font size="1" face="TimesNewRomanPSMT"><font size="1" face="TimesNewRomanPSMT"></p>
<p align="left">The 2000 census identified that over 25% of Edina homeowners are over 65 years of age. It&#8217;s time to begin attracting</p>
<p align="left">younger families to Edina and this generous 2 nd mortgage program was created to do just that.</p>
