Buying a home is like completing a puzzle—each piece brings you closer to the big picture.

Understanding the difference between grants and loan assistance programs is key to finishing your homeownership puzzle.

Grants:

1

No Repayment Required

2

Eligibility Criteria

3

Limited Availability

Think of grants as those perfectly fitting corner pieces of your puzzle. They’re essential and give you a strong start without any extra effort.

Grants are free funds you don’t have to pay back, making them a crucial piece in your homebuying journey.

Loan Assistance Programs:

1

Repayment Terms

2

Broader Eligibility

3

Variety of Programs

Loan assistance programs are like the middle pieces of the puzzle. They require a bit more work to fit into place but are vital to completing the picture.

These programs offer ongoing support, such as low-interest loans or financial counseling, helping you piece together the rest of your homebuying process. While some repayment might be involved, this assistance ensures you’re steadily assembling your dream home.

Think you may forget the difference between the two? Remember this:

“Grants fit corners, solid and free, Loans piece the middle, supportively.”

The Down Payment Resource Q2 2024 Homeownership Program Index Report, highlights the homebuyer assistance programs available each quarter to help make homeownership more accessible and has some great insights.

Just like in puzzles, knowing how to use each piece can make the process smoother and more rewarding. Whether it’s a grant providing that initial fit or a loan assistance program helping you connect the pieces, you’re on your way to completing your homeownership puzzle.
