Down Payment Assistance Information

Most states have various program to help with homebuyer down payment assistance. The best place to start looking at is usually with your local city and/or county office. You can obtain this contact information quite easily by looking your local phone books or by simply doing a online search for "Down Payment Assistance Your Location".

Another resource to utilize is the FindWiz.info Public Records page... scroll down to choose the state you are interested in... then open the drop down menu in the upper left corner of the state page to select the county page... open the official county government website (it is usually the first one on the list).  Somewhere on the county site you will probably find the information you are seeking.

Below is a list of some of the programs available which you may want to use to begin your search for down payment assistance for your buyers. Contact your local city/county government offices to see if they can direct you to any city/county down payment assistance local to your area. In addition to the government sponsored down payment assistance programs, there are many non-profit organizations with down payment grants available.

Some assistance programs require repayment, others do not. Ask questions about how the down payment assistance programs work in your area so you completely understand the terms and whether repayment is expected or not.

NEIGHBORHOOD STABILIZATION PROGRAM HOMEOWNERSHIP LOAN PROGRAMS

Under Title III of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (HERA), federal funds will be released by HUD to implement two new Homeownership products.  MSHDA has set aside $10,000,000 of Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) funds to provide additional home ownership opportunities to eligible borrowers who meet MSHDA’s NSP income limits and sales price limit of $224,500.  Borrowers must purchase an existing foreclosed or abandoned property in an "area of greatest need,” as defined by HUD.

NSP 80/20 Loan Program
The abandoned or foreclosed property has been purchased, rehabbed, and is now being sold by a MSHDA Grantee or Non-Profit Agency to an eligible borrower who is obtaining 100% financing from the Homeownership Division.

NSP Acquisition Rehab Loan Program
The eligible borrower purchases an existing abandoned or foreclosed property and the Homeownership Division provides down payment assistance up to $10,000 for properties not requiring repairs, or up to $25,000 if including the cost of repairs.

With both programs, the second lien is a 0%, non-amortizing loan, forgivable over a 10 year term at 10% per year. These programs were effective July 7, 2009 through MSHDA-approved participating lenders on a first-come, first-served basis.  You may contact a lender to participate in this program, or for further information contact MSHDA at (517) 373-6840.  

HUD Areas of Greatest Need
The Foreclosure Risk Score of the property must be 6 or greater to qualify for these products. Please use the following links to determine the Risk Score.

There are certain areas in NY where lenders are able to offer better interest rates and programs than those available everywhere else.  There are many government or other agency sponsored mortgage programs specifically targeted to, and only available in these areas.

New York City "HomeFirst Down Payment Assistance Program" gives qualified buyers up to 6% of a home's purchase price toward the down payment or closing costs. This can be on a 1-4 family home, a condominium, or a cooperative in one of the 5 boroughs of New York City.

Most programs administrators place a lien on the home whose owner received down payment assistance. The amount of the lien is reduced every year and eventually eliminated after a certain number of years. If a home owner sells his property or refinance to cash out equity while there is still a lien on the property, he will need to return part of the assistance. Such measure is in place to prevent assistance recipients taking advantage of the assistance programs by "flipping", or quickly buy and sell, properties.

Non-Profit 501c(3) Seller Funded
Down Payment Assistance Programs

On July 30, 2008, President Bush signed H.R. 3221 - Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008. Section 2113 of the bill prohibits seller-funded Down Payment Assistance for loans backed by the Federal Housing Administration. Prior to this bill, the seller could contribute up to 6% to the buyer to cover either a down payment or closing costs on an FHA loan.  Legislation to repeal this has been introduced in Congress.  H.R. 3221 only applies to FHA loans.

AMERIDREAM The AmeriDream program offers gift funds up to 10% of the home's purchase price which does not have to be paid back. Buyers must agree however, to return any funds not used toward down payments or closing costs and to return the funds if the sale of the home does not close on the scheduled closing date.

NEHEMIAH The Nehemiah Program has helped over a quarter of a million Americans purchase homes. Unlike some down payment assistance programs, Nehemiah offers down payment help to anyone who qualifies for an approved FHA loan. Buyers can get up to 6% of the final contract sales price for down payment and/or closing costs.

AMERICAN FAMILY FUNDS (AFF) administers The Dove Foundation, a non-profit charity offering down payment and/or closing cost assistance to qualified American home buyers. Once you are pre-qualified for the FHA loan and find a property you want to buy, notify your loan officer, who will apply for the AFF down payment assistance on your behalf.

FAMILY HOME PROVIDERS is a non-profit affordable housing company offering down payment assistance to any family with steady employment and good credit. Under the Family Home Providers plan, those with an FHA loan are eligible for 3% of the final contract price of the home purchased with the FHA approved loan.

FUTURES HOME ASSISTANCE is a non-profit charity group offering a free down payment gift up to 6% of the closing costs of a home purchased with an FHA loan. The mission statement of Futures Home Assistance includes the belief that people who dream of owning a home should not be hindered because of a lack of down payment funds.

GRANT AMERICA The Genesis Program, also known as Grant America, is a non-profit down payment assistance program. It is operated by the Penobscot Indian Tribal Nation and is HUD-approved to offer up to $34,000 in assistance, even to those living outside tribal jurisdiction.

HOUSING ACTION RESOURCE TRUST or HART program is a non-profit housing organization offering help to home buyers who qualify for FHA "first mortgage" loans. A first mortgage does not mean "first-time home buyers only," but rather those who are getting the initial mortgage and not applying for a second mortgage or home equity loan.

NEWSONG provides a down payment assistance program for residential and commercial properties. This program offers a one-time gift for all closing costs, and there are no income requirements or limits on who can participate. Anyone who qualifies for an FHA loan can apply to receive down payment help from Newsong.

PARTNERS IN CHARITY (PIC) is a non-profit group offering down payment assistance on properties such as single-family homes, condominiums, and multi-unit properties. Assistance is also available for rehabilitation programs. Partners In Charity funds are offered to those who qualify for FHA loans or are pre-approved for FHA loan amounts.

RESPONSIBLE HOME OWNERSHIP program is run by a non-profit organization called Community Housing and Development Corporation. This program offers down payment assistance to low-income individuals who have steady income and good credit. Check with your loan officer if you have specific questions about your participation in this program using an FHA home home loan.

QUICKDOWN is a program that works with non-profit agencies to provide down payment assistance. Home buyers who benefit from Quickdown are those who qualify for approved or pre-approved FHA home loans. This program is designed for those who want to buy a home but are "cash challenged" and can't afford the down payment.
