Down Payment Assistance Program

Helping to bridge the gap for first-time buyers with the MyHome Assistance Program.

MyHome Assistance Program

Provides 3.5% of the home’s purchase price as a forgivable second mortgage for down payment and closing costs. Stay in your home for 3 years without selling or refinancing, and the balance is completely forgiven.

National Loan Programs To Consider

Aside from this down payment option, there are also national loan programs that can be valuable for first-time homebuyers:

FHA Loans

Great for buyers with lower credit scores or limited savings; they require a minimum credit score of 580 and as little as a 3.5% down payment.

VA Loans

Ideal for military members and veterans, these loans require no down payment.

USDA Loan

 Suitable for buyers in rural areas, these loans have no down payment requirement but do have geographic and income limits.
