What Is Down Payment Assistance?
Down payment assistance programs can be administered by a local or state housing authority, a nonprofit organization or directly through a lender. They provide a percentage of your first mortgage loan amount or sales price to qualified homebuyers to cover their down payment and/or closing costs. The money you receive through the program may be considered a grant, an interest-free loan or a debt you pay off in the future. You must occupy the home as your primary residence. These funds may require repayment if you refinance or sell the home.
