Down payment assistance programs are a financial program that provides homebuyers with grants or loans to help cover the upfront down payment cost when purchasing a house. Often aimed at first-time homebuyers or individuals with lower to moderate incomes, and usually administered by government agencies, non-profits, or mortgage lenders. It helps people afford a home by providing a portion of the down payment needed to secure a mortgage. A lot of the loans become forgivable after living in the residence for the set period of time.
