Homebuyers Dream Program
Specially designed for families that have received approval for Down Payment Assistance from an approved city or county program.
One of the primary barriers to homeownership for first-time home buyers is saving money for the down payment and closing costs. To assist with this gap seen in our assessment area, Piedmont Federal is offering a product that is specially designed for low-to-moderate income families that have received approval for down payment assistance from an approved city/county program. The Homebuyer Dream Program also provides closing cost assistance to credit worthy first-time homebuyers making less than 80% of the median income based on the designated Bank’s Assessment area.
Each applicant is required to receive home buyer education and counseling, before and after the mortgage purchase, to acquire the knowledge and confidence needed to navigate the home buying process and become successful homeowners.
