• Borrowers must be first-time homebuyers or buying in a targeted area.

Borrowers must attend a Commission-sponsored homebuyer seminar prior to reserving funds under the House Key Program.  Cash back to borrowers is not allowed.

HOW MUCH CAN YOU BORROW?

Eligible households may qualify for a maximum loan amount of up to $10,000 in all counties.
