First Time Homebuyer Program

Our First Time Home Buyer Down Payment Assistance Program offers 50% of the required down payment and/or closing cost assistance to income qualified buyers. You may be eligible for a loan up to $15,000 depending on your financial need, purchase price and lending requirements. This award is a 0% interest, deferred loan which is paid back at the time of rental, sale, transfer of title or when the property is no longer your principle place of residence.
