NeighborWorks America and its network of nearly 250 local nonprofit organizations provide down payment assistance, closing cost assistance, and homebuyer education for low- and moderate-income first-time homebuyers. Programs vary by location but typically help buyers purchase homes in targeted neighborhoods and communities across the U.S.
Answer each question — we'll show you exactly what applies to your situation.

Do you complete a HUD-approved homebuyer education course?
Are you purchasing a primary residence in an eligible area served by a NeighborWorks affiliate?

Do you contribute a minimum personal down payment?
