Down Payment Assistance

Does Your State Offer Help?

Most first-time buyers don’t know their state offers money toward the down payment. These are real government programs run by state Housing Finance Agencies — not bank promotions or strings-attached deals.

What you’ll need: Your state, whether you’re a first-time buyer, your target home price (optional), and your approximate credit score range.

What you’ll get: A list of programs you may qualify for, with the assistance amount, repayment terms, and a direct link to the official program page.

Most programs define this as not having owned a home in the past 3 years. Veterans are often exempt.
