Down Payment and Homeownership Assistance Programs

Florida Has Several Down Payment And Homeownership Programs Available For You

Down payment assistance (DPA) programs can help you purchase a home now by providing some or all of your down payment. Some DPA programs offer monies in a grant that you do not have to pay back. Others offer the funding in some form of a loan with low or no interest. DPAs may have terms to repay the loan when you sell the home. Or the provider might forgive the loan once you have lived in the home for a certain number of years.


DPAs terms and qualifications vary because each program is unique. DPAs are generally developed and funded by non-profits and county programs.
