Homeownership Assistance: Down Payment Loan Program

This act establishes a pilot program to help citizens purchase their first home by providing down payment assistance loans. The program targets individuals who meet specific income criteria and do not already own property. The loan is repaid upon the sale of the home, and its amount may depend on the property's appreciation.
Key points
The program offers down payment loans (3% to 20% of home purchase price) for eligible first-time homebuyers.
Loans are available to individuals with incomes not exceeding 150% of the area median income who have completed a homebuyer education course.
Loan repayment occurs upon home sale and includes the loan amount plus a share of the appreciation if the home's value increases.
Maximum loan amounts vary by cost of living in a state or Indian tribe (from $50,000 to $150,000).
