Welcome Home Program

The Welcome Home Program (WHP) offers grants to fund reasonable down payment and closing costs incurred in conjunction with the acquisition of owner-occupied housing by low- and moderate-income homebuyers. The grants are limited to a maximum of $25,000 for homebuyers who are honorably discharged veterans, active-duty military personnel, reservists, or surviving spouses of service personnel, and a maximum of $20,000 for all other homebuyers.

The program opens on March 1, 2024 and remains open until grant funds are no longer available. Grant funds are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis. Must have fully executed purchase contract to apply.  Can take 6 – 8 weeks to close using grant money.

Program Guidelines:

• The total income for all occupants must be at or below 80 percent of the Mortgage Revenue Bond limit for the county and state where the property is located;
• Homebuyers must contribute at least $500 of their own funds towards down payment and/or closing costs;
• All first-time homebuyers are required to complete a homeownership counseling program;
• Grant funds are intended only for homebuyers who qualify for the first mortgage based on their own merit. Co-signors and non-occupant co-borrowers are not permitted;
• The interest rate for the first mortgage may not exceed 11.75 percent; and,
• All eligible property assisted with WHP funds is subject to a five-year retention mechanism, which may require the household to repay all or a portion of the subsidy if the home is sold or refinanced within five years from the closing of the transaction
