Downpayment Assistance Program for the First Time Home Buyers in North Carolina

by: Michael Saunders

The North Carolina Housing Finance Agency is self-supporting public agency of the State of California that is primarily responsible for providing financial assistance in the form of loans to low and moderate income first time home buyers in North Carolina.

The programs and activities of the North Carolina Housing Finance Agency are constantly geared towards the satisfaction of the best interest of its target population, which is why all their endeavors are carefully guided by their overall agency mission which is "to create affordable housing opportunities for North Carolinians whose needs are not met by the market."

The agency has been running programs that assist first time home buyers in the process of purchasing their home. But ultimately, these first time home buyers still find it hard to cover some extra costs, such as downpayments and closing costs.

In an attempt to contribute to the eradication of this problem, the North Carolina HFA has established the Downpayment Assistance Program for the First Time Home Buyers wherein they provide interest-free, deferred second mortgages up to $8,000 to cover the downpayment and closing costs of a chosen property.
