KHC's Down payment Assistance Program (DAP)

Down Payment Assistance Programs in Kentucky

Kentucky Down payment assistance loans are available up to $10,000 for Mortgage

For Kentucky First Time Home Buyers to current Kentucky homeowners, many state, county and local housing agencies offer affordable loan programs with Down Payment Assistance (DPA), subject to availability of funds and credit qualifying. 

Kentucky Down Payment Assistance programs  can vary with single products or sometimes can be a combination of products such as Mortgage Credit Certificates (MCC), Grants, DPA’s along with closing cost assistance and low interest rates and fees that can help individuals and families become successful homeowners.

All Kentucky home borrowers must qualify for an underlying mortgage product according to the Housing Finance Agency authority (FHA, VA, USDA or Conventional). 

Housing loan programs are then layered on top to provide additional benefits. If eligible, the borrower can also add a down payment and closing cost assistance to their loan according to individual program guidelines
