The Neighborhood Housing Initiative is a special opportunity for homebuyers to save and be a part of the City’s revitalization efforts. Down payment assistance is available to qualified buyers.
Qualifying
Prices are affordable, averaging $180,000, and the homes are custom built including front porches, upgraded finishing touches as well as professionally landscaped yards.
If you are interested in purchasing a home in Jacksonville and earn less than 80% of the area’s median income, then this opportunity is for you! For example, if you are a family of four with a household income less than $56,200 you may qualify! Income qualifications change annually and are adjusted with family size. Homebuyers must complete an 8-hour homebuyer education course. For more information call 910 938-5286.
If You Don’t Qualify
There are still many opportunities to purchase your own home. Check with your local Realtor or bank to see what is available.
