If we granted you $6,500…
We’re working to put homeownership within the reach of more people. This program provides $6,500 in down payment assistance to first time homebuyers who live in qualifying neighborhoods in select cities.
Have a question?
Great news. With this grant, you finally have the opportunity to buy your home. Here’s a look at what’s possible.
How do I know if I qualify for down payment assistance?
Because eligibility for this grant depends on where you live when you apply, the best way to find out if you qualify is to talk to a Loan Officer.
Do I have to buy in the same area where I live now?
No. You need to live in one of the qualifying census tracts when you apply, but you can buy a home anywhere in the U.S. If you don’t live in a qualifying area, you might be eligible for this grant.
