Down Payment Assistance Programs with Piedmont Housing Alliance

A 20% down payment on a home is great, but it’s not a requirement. First-time homeowners can secure mortgages requiring no more than 3% to 5% of the purchase price as a down payment, and there are loans and grants that can help cover these costs.

Join Piedmont Housing Alliance to learn about the down payment assistance programs that we offer like our down payment loan program, the SPARC program and pre-purchase counseling! We encourage participants to ask questions about our programs and find out how they can work for you. Please attend this webinar if you are applying to the down payment loan program. This webinar is mandatory for new clients applying to the down payment loan program.
