Homeownership Down Payment Assistance Program (DPA)

Homeownership Down Payment Assistance Program (DPA)

The HOMEownership Down Payment and Closing Cost Assistance Program (DPA) provides financial assistance to first-time homebuyers on adjustable gap terms. This program allows homeowners to purchase homes at or below 80% of the area median income (AMI) and to expect homes that are safe, of quality, and attainable. Assistance is provided in the form of a grant with a mandatory “affordability period” for applicants to continue to claim the house as their primary residence. An income-eligible homebuyer may receive up to 10% or 15% (within the established approved areas by DHCD) of the sales price, plus up to $2,500 to pay for the cost of closing (e.g. attorney’s fee, title insurance, taxes as needs demand).

Eligible applicants: Qualify as a first-time Homebuyer; Receive homeownership counseling from a HUD-certified agency and HUD-certified Housing Counselor; Complete a HUD-certified Homebuyer Education Course through a Virginia Housing or Neighborworks® certified course; Demonstrate that their income does not exceed 80 percent of the AMI; Have a median credit score of 620 or higher and debt to income ratio that does not exceed 43%; Contribute one percent of the sales price of the home from their personal funds if the income is between 50%-80% of the AMI, and if the income is less than 50% of the AMI, they can contribute $500 towards the purchase of the home.

Current Inflation Trends

According to the International Monetary Fund Global inflation is expected to fall from 8.8% in 2022 to 6.6% in 2023 and 4.3% in 2024, still above pre-pandemic (2017–19) levels of about 3.5%. In their recent January article, they projected the fall of global growth from an estimated 3.4% in 2022 to 2.9% in 2023, then a rise to 3.1$ in 2024.

The possibility of risk is still high but a drop in inflation numbers is still possible. There are many factors that play a role in the outcome of the financial standing of the average consumer such as international health concerns, current military involvement, and stricter financing costs across global markets.
