Down Payment Assistance

A down payment assistance program helps buyers with grants or loans to cover part of the down payment, making homeownership more accessible.

Get Started

What’s a Down Payment Assistance Program?

Our down payment assistance programs help families and individuals achieve their dream of homeownership by providing funds that can be applied towards the down payment. Some programs will provide additional funds that can be used for closing costs, which lowers the total contribution they must come in with the loan closes. Down Payment Assistance may come in the form of a Second Mortgage, a Community Second or a Grant. Many times, this allows home buyers to purchase much sooner than they thought possible.
