Down Payment Assistance Grants
Funding to Help Buy Existing Homes on the Open Market
Grants are available to help make non-Proud Ground properties affordable too.
Are you looking to buy a home that is not a Proud Ground property? Proud Ground works with cities in Washington, Multnomah, Clackamas, and Clark counties to administer down payment grants for folks like you.
Each grant has its own qualifications for applicants. Down payment assistance may be used to help you purchase an existing home on the open market.
