How Much Grant Money Will I Receive?

You can get up to $10,000 to go towards 50% of your down payment, closing costs, or even a principal reduction of your loan amount.

Do I Have to Pay the Money Back?

As long as you live in the home for 5 years, the home will be totally forgiven. If you sell the home before the 5 year period, you will be required to pay back a portion of the grant depending on how long you lived at the home.
If you refinance before the 5 years are up, you will need to subordinate the grant as part of your refinance.
