Myth: Assistance programs are no longer funded. Fact: On the contrary. We found that more than 87 percent of all programs we track have funds available for homebuyers. In fact, there are hundreds of millions of dollars in down payment assistance, grants, tax credits and affordable first mortgages available throughout the country. Each program has a different funding schedule. Some programs are government-funded and are provided through municipal or quasi-government agencies o...r non-profits. Others are privately funded, and some are even sponsored by employers. Every state has a collection of programs at the state-level and hundreds of markets around the country offer local assistance as well. The three most common types of programs are down payment and closing cost assistance, affordable first mortgages and Mortgage Credit Certificates (MCCs). Contact us today for more details!
