Kentucky Housing recognizes that down payments, closing costs and prepaids are stumbling blocks for many potential home buyers. Here are several loan programs to help. Your KHC-approved lender can help you apply for the program that meets your needs.

Neighborhood Down payment Assistance Program (DAP) 

Kentucky Housing Corporation (KHC) received $3 million from the National Mortgage Foreclosure Settlement Fund to offer a new mortgage program for down payment and closing costs assistance. This program is only available until all funds are gone.
Repayable second mortgage up to $10,000
  • 1 percent interest rate for 30 years.
  • Income must be less than $124,775 (terms and conditions apply).
To be eligible for the Neighborhood DAP, either:
  • The property must be in the process of disposition option (i.e., deed-in-lieu, short sale) or foreclosed upon.
  • The newly-constructed or existing property has been for sale for at least six months.
  • The home buyer has experienced a foreclosure and credit qualifies to purchase another home.

Regular DAP

  • Purchase price up to $243,000.
  • Assistance in the form of a loan up to $6,000 in $100 increments.
  • Repayable over a ten-year term at 6 percent.  A DAP of $6,000 over ten years at 6 percent interest would equal a payment of $66.61.
  • Available to all KHC first-mortgage loan recipients.

HOME-DAP

  • Purchase price up to $195,700.
  • Assistance up to $4,500
  • No monthly repayment; forgiven over five years.
  • Existing homes only.
  • Borrowers must meet HOME-income guidelines.

More about down payment and closing costs

  • No liquid asset review and no limit on borrower reserves for Regular DAP.
  • Borrowers may retain two months’ house payments in reserve while using available funds first before looking for any form of HOME DAP assistance.
  • Specific credit underwriting standards may apply to down payment programs.
