Applicants must have eligible incomes below 80% of the Area Median Income and be willing to live in the home as their primary residence for 5 years. The forgiveable loan will be forgiven in entirety at the end of 5 years. The purchase price limit for existing homes is currently $119,000. The property must also pass a health and safety inspection.
