The maximum down payment assistance for one of DC's main homeowner assistance programs is about to go up significantly.

HPAP gives first-time buyers in the District interest-free loans and help with closing costs. The amount awarded is based on income, household size, and down payment amount (see table above), and there is a long list of eligibility requirements. HPAP also offers $4,000 in closing cost assistance.
In addition to increasing HPAP's down payment assistance, Mayor Bowser reminded DC homeowners today that the foreclosure moratorium for those who applied to a homeowner assistance program will end on September 30.
