*Buyers eligible to receive assistance through the Equity Builder Program are individuals and households earning no more than 80 percent of the area median income, based on their future address. To be eligible to receive assistance through the Equity Builder Program, buyers must complete a homebuyer counseling program administered by an agency designated by the Equity Builder Program-approved member financial institution. The program must include pre-and post-purchase counseling. Interest would not accrue on the grant and the proceeds would only be due if the property is sold within the first five years of home ownership. May not be combined with any other type of down payment programs.
