Homeownership seems like an impossible dream for many people, especially those with low to moderate incomes and in these COVID-troubled times.
The Delaware State Housing Authority is trying to make that dream a reality through their “Kiss Your Landlord Goodbye” promotion.
“In Delaware, people can often buy a home with a lower mortgage payment than they are paying in rent,” said spokeswoman Jessica Welch. “People often think our programs are only for low income families, but that is not the case.
“In Kent and Sussex County, for a household with one or two people, the income limit is $98,280 while families of three or more can have income up to $122,850. We also offer our programs to repeat home buyers, not just first-time buyers.”
COVID-19 case reported at Union Sanborn School
January 13, 2021NORTHFIELD A letter was sent to parents last week reporting a confirmed case of COVID-19 at Northfield s Union Sanborn School.
Principal Jessica Welch reported in the letter, dated Jan. 7, that an adult who had been in the building early last week began experiencing symptoms two days later, and tested positive for the virus.
Upon learning of the positive test, school officials began working with the state s Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to notify any staff that had been in close contact with the infected individual. Affected staff are currently quarantining for 14 days, along with a cohort of students from one classroom who were also identified as having been in close physical contact. Any parents or children who experience symptoms such as fever, chills, difficulty breathing, aches or loss of taste and/or smell are advised to get tested themselves and isolate at home.
