The goal of our Revolving Loan Funds and Packaging is to help individuals and families find and purchase a home that is right for them, that is affordable and easily upgraded/maintained with financial assistance, and for them to save in energy cost, and become part of the revitalizing efforts in our local community.
What is it?
Low-interest loans for down payments, closing costs, repairs, and help securing USDA loans for purchases/repairs. Currently, amounts up to $10,000 may be borrowed starting at 3.5%, repayable over a period of up to 10 years. Other loan funds may also be available for additional purchase/repair assistance.
The process is simple, just contact our certified HUD counselor, answer a few preliminary questions to determine eligibility, and request an application. You mail in your completed application which is reviewed to verify eligibility. Depending on the purpose of your request, a site inspection may be performed. If approved, you complete final paperwork which may include additional steps in obtaining mortgage financing, grant funds, and/or loan packaging assistance.
