Down Payment Assistance Grants


In addition to opportunities to buy a new or existing Proud Ground home, Proud Ground administers down-payment assistance grants from cities and counties for homebuyers who want to purchase a market-rate home. These homes become part of Proud Ground’s Community Land Trust.

Each grant has its own eligibilty qualifications and restrictions for applicants.
