city of gso attempting to scam Low-Income Homeowner Assistance Program eligibility
careful out there folks. our taxes pay their salaries but they most definitely do not work for us. question everything. lied twice, called out twice. then magically i was approved.
this is the actual email chain, exactly:
city of gso:
Dear,
The Greensboro Housing and Neighborhood Development Department regrets to inform you that your application for the Low Income Homeowner Assistance Program was ineligible due to the following:
Does not meet income requirement
Calculated gross income is $xx,xxx which is over the $51,250 threshold for a one-person household.
me:
It absolutely is not. The actual income is in the $xxk range based on the 1040 final after deductions.
city of gso:
Hello,
I looked at your application again and you are correct; I did calculate your income incorrectly and I apologize for that. Self-employment uses net income, instead of gross income so yours would have been $xx,xxx.
However, once I moved to the next step, I learned that you did not appear on the tax roll until 2021 and the requirement is that you must be on it since 2020. You will be eligible to apply next year if the program is approved. I have attached a copy of the tax roll and the link for you to have access at any time.
me:
Show me in writing the documentation or web link to the 2020 requirement.
city of gso:
I very much apologize and appreciate you pointing out my errors. I have completed the review of your application and sent it on for further approvals. Please know that I am here to answer any additional questions or make any changes if needed.
Thank you and I appreciate your patience.
