Down Payment Assistance Programs (DPAs) are designed to help homebuyers who may not have enough money saved for a down payment. These programs offer financial assistance in the form of grants or loans that can be used towards a down payment and/or closing costs. The requirements and availability of DPAs vary by program and location. DPAs can be a great option for those who want to become homeowners but are struggling to save enough money for a down payment.
