The Housing Assistance Puchase Program offers grants to income- and asset-qualified First-Time homebuyers for the purpose of financing the gap between the affordable price and the selling price of an existing market-rate house in Dartmouth, MA. Two grants up to $175,000 to purchase a 2-Bedroom home or 3-Bedroom home or larger are being offered. The program will reimburse each buyer up to $1,500 toward initial home inspections and any additional inspections required under this program. Income limits and other eligibility requirements apply.
Applicants must secure approval for a mortgage loan, submit evidence of such approval and availability of funds for a down payment together with the application. Only one application per household will be accepted, and there is no need to submit multiple applications.
