Who Can Benefit from DPAs

Down Payment Assistance Programs are designed for a variety of potential homebuyers. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, a low-income family, or just someone struggling to gather enough funds for a down payment, there’s likely a DPA that could benefit you.

Types of Down Payment Assistance

Various forms of assistance are available, including:

  • Grants: These are funds that you do not have to repay, provided you fulfill certain conditions, typically involving living in the home for a set period.
  • Second Mortgages: These are loans with favorable terms, often with low or deferred interest payments.
  • Tax Credits: Some programs provide tax breaks rather than direct financial assistance.
