The Kentucky Housing Corporation (KHC) has reintroduced its $2,000 Closing Cost Grant, effective March 18, 2025. This grant is designed to assist homebuyers in Kentucky by covering some of the upfront costs associated with purchasing a home. Here's how it can help:
Key Features of the KHC $2,000 Closing Cost Grant
No Repayment Required: The grant does not need to be repaid, making it a valuable resource for those who need financial assistance with closing costs.
Combination with Other Programs: It can be combined with KHC's $10,000 Down Payment Assistance Program (DAP), allowing homebuyers to access a total of $12,000 in assistance. This combination can significantly reduce the amount of money needed upfront for a home purchase.
Eligibility: While specific eligibility criteria are not detailed in the provided information, typically these programs require applicants to meet certain income limits, purchase price limits, and other qualifications.
How It Helps Homebuyers
Reduces Upfront Costs: By covering closing costs, homebuyers can allocate more funds towards other expenses or save money for future needs.
Increases Affordability: Combining the grant with the DAP can make homeownership more accessible by reducing the financial burden of down payments and closing costs.
Simplifies the Homebuying Process: Having additional financial support can make the process less stressful and more manageable for first-time or low-income homebuyers.
Overall, the KHC $2,000 Closing Cost Grant is a beneficial resource for those looking to purchase a home in Kentucky, especially when used in conjunction with other assistance programs.
