Help buying your first home
First-time homebuyer assistance
First-time buyer help usually covers part of your down payment or closing costs, and it often comes with a required class. Many programs count you as a first-time buyer if you have not owned a home in the last three years.
Income limits and home price limits are common. Each listing shows what the program states, and the official page has the current numbers.

Common questions
- Is a housing counseling agency the same as a grant?
- No. Counseling is free or low cost help understanding your options. It is a service, not money toward the purchase.
