Why Get Down Payment Assistance?

Assistance in the form of a second loan from Kentucky Housing Corporation clears the biggest hurdle standing between renting and owning.

Less Cash Needed at Closing

Applies toward the down payment and/or closing costs, cutting down how much borrowers have to save before they buy.

A Faster Path to Owning

Borrowers who’ve been stuck saving can close on a home years sooner than they planned.

More Breathing Room After Closing

Freeing up cash at closing leaves more cushion for moving expenses, repairs, and the unplanned stuff that comes with owning a home.

How It Works

Kentucky Housing Corporation structures this as a secondary loan, repaid over 15 years, and it can be layered with other lender incentives where available.

Loan Amount

Up to $12,500 for down payment and closing costs assistance. Can be paired with FHA, Conventional, USDA, or VA loans with a minimum 620 credit score.

Repayment Term

A 15-year secondary loan at a locked rate with no prepayment penalty, separate from and in addition to the first mortgage.

Eligibility

Open to borrowers on a qualifying first mortgage that meets Kentucky Housing Corporation’s purchase price, credit requirement, and income limits.
