DC Will Launch Improvements to First-Time Home buyer Programs in 2017

On December 12th, Mayor Bowser announced several changes to DC’s homebuyer programs which intend to make first-time purchases simpler and more affordable.

The amendments, which will be effective as of January 1st, include increasing the maximum loan amount for the Home Purchase Assistance Program (HPAP) from $50,000 to $80,000, relaxing the HPAP repayment terms for borrowers earning below 80 percent of area median income (AMI), and adding a second HPAP administrator to city staff. HPAP enables households earning up to 110 percent AMI to use down payment assistance to purchase homes in the District.
