The Homeownership Down Payment Assistance Program focuses on qualified families that fall below 80% of the area median income but are capable of qualifying and repaying a first mortgage.
The loan is a 0% interest deferred payment loan, due in full either at the end of the first mortgage term, upon resale, or conversion to a rental unit.
