What is Down Payment Assistance?
Down payment assistance (DPA) programs provide grants, forgivable loans, or deferred loans to help eligible home buyers cover their down payment and sometimes closing costs. These programs are typically offered through state housing agencies, local government entities, and nonprofit organizations. The programs are administered through participating mortgage lenders — I refer my clients to lenders who actively work with DPA programs.
Texas State Affordable Housing Corporation (TSAHC)
TSAHC offers down payment assistance programs for both first-time and repeat home buyers in Texas. Their programs may provide grants or deferred forgivable loans. Eligibility is based on income limits, purchase price limits, and property location. Program details and availability change — I connect buyers with TSAHC-approved lenders who can confirm current eligibility and terms.
Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA)
TDHCA's My First Texas Home and My Choice Texas Home programs offer down payment and closing cost assistance to eligible Texas buyers. These programs are income-based and work in conjunction with 30-year fixed rate mortgage loans. A TDHCA-approved lender can review your eligibility and walk you through the application process.
Local City and County DPA Programs
Many Texas cities and counties offer their own down payment assistance programs targeted to buyers purchasing within their jurisdiction. These local programs sometimes offer more generous assistance than state programs. Availability varies significantly by location — I help my clients identify all programs they may qualify for based on where they are buying.
How DPA Affects Your Home Search
DPA programs typically have purchase price limits and property eligibility requirements. As your real estate agent I factor DPA requirements into your home search from the beginning — so we focus on properties that qualify for your assistance program. This saves time and prevents you from falling in love with a home that doesn't meet program requirements.
