DOWN PAYMENT ASSISTANCE
Down payment assistance (DPA) programs help home buyers with loans or grants that reduce the amount they need to save for a down payment. Provided you qualify, you could receive an outright grant or a low- or no-interest loan to cover your down payment. Some DPA funds can be used for closing costs, too.

Have you ever dreamed of owning a home? The first mortgage with down payment assistance offered by Housing Finance Authorities in the State of Florida could make your dream a reality. All of the counties listed below have a first mortgage program that also offers down payment and closing cost assistance. A qualified borrower may receive a 30-year fixed rate first mortgage and down payment and closing cost assistance. Most of the assistance offered is in the form of a 0% interest rate, deferred (you do not pay back the assistance right away) second mortgage (the assistance is never forgiven). But there are some programs that offer assistance in the form of a grant (never repaid).
