Unlock Homeownership with MSHDA’s Latest Program

For many first-time homebuyers, saving for a down payment can be one of the biggest obstacles to purchasing a home.

What is the MSHDA $25,000 Down Payment Assistance Program?

MSHDA has long been offering down payment assistance, with its traditional program providing $10,000. However, thanks to $8 million in federal funding, an expanded program now offers an additional $15,000—bringing the total to $25,000.

But there’s a catch: This funding is limited, and only 320 families in Michigan will be able to take advantage of it before it runs out.

Who Qualifies for This Program?

To be eligible for this MSHDA down payment assistance, applicants must:

✔️ Be a first-generation homebuyer (meaning neither you nor your parents have owned a home in the past three years)
✔️ Contribute at least 1% of the purchase price (e.g., $2,000 on a $200,000 home)
✔️ Meet MSHDA’s income and credit requirements
✔️ Work with a MSHDA-approved lender (such as Jeremy Drobeck at Treadstone Mortgage)

💡 Pro Tip: If only one person in a household meets the first-generation requirement, they can apply solo and still qualify!
