g <br /> 2 . Impact Fee / Capacity Charge Loans <br /> a . Description <br /> The IRCLHAProgram anticipates providing no - interest <br /> loans for the payment of water and sewer capacity <br /> charges as well as electric and traffic impact fees for <br /> housing units for qualified eligible persons or <br /> sponsors . Funds for impact fee / capacity charge loans <br /> shall be transferred directly to the appropriate impact <br /> fee or capacity charge account corresponding to the <br /> eligible housing unit . Loans may be provided for <br /> connection to public utility services for new <br /> construction or existing owner - occupied homes . <br /> For new homebuyers , such loans will reduce the financial <br /> cost , as the loans will be deferred and therefore <br /> eliminate the need to include impact fees and capacity <br /> charges in the overall , up front , financing costs for a <br /> housing unit . Such loans provided to pay capacity <br /> charges to connect existing housing units to public <br /> utility services will allow owners to defer the payment <br /> of such fees until the time the housing unit is sold . <br /> When an existing home is to be rehabilitated under the <br /> Rehabilitation Loan Assistance Strategy , a combination <br /> impact fee / capacity charge loan and rehabilitation loan <br /> may be awarded . <br /> Impact fee / capacity charge loans may be leveraged with <br /> private funds and all applicable state or federal <br /> programs . <br /> b .
