| Downpayment Plus® Programs Now Open | |
|
The FHLBC’s 2016 Downpayment Plus (DPP®) and Downpayment Plus Advantage (DPP Advantage®) programs are now open with an allocation of $15.3 million. The DPP and DPP Advantage programs provide forgivable grants to assist income-eligible homebuyers with down payment and closing costs. Participating members may access $6,000 per qualifying household – up to an institutional maximum of $420,000 – on a first-come, first-served basis. Click here for the DPP enrollment form. Members should review the Downpayment Plus Program Guide. It includes program requirements, income calculation guidelines, retention requirements, and links to various program forms. Members may wish to use customizable marketing flyers to promote their access to the program. The flyers are available in English, Hmong, Polish, and Spanish. DPP may be paired with a variety of down payment assistance programs including the Illinois Housing Development Authority’s @Home Illinois program, the down payment assistance programs offered by the Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority, and the Wisconsin Department of Administration’s Housing Cost Reduction Initiative (HCRI) program – thereby making home ownership even more affordable. Please contact (312) 565-5824 or dpp@fhlbc.com with any questions. |
