​​DETAILED DPA PROGRAM INFORMATION

​

​Below is a summary of all assistance programs available through ANDP.​ A special note to potential homebuyers: Your lender and real estate professional can best help you navigate these program requirements. Most programs require that your lender apply on your behalf.

​

Keep in mind that each program is different and has separate qualifications and requirements. See a side-by-side comparison of all ANDP-related programs here.

​

​

Traditional DPA Programs

​

ANDP-FHLBank Atlanta DPA Program provides between $12,500 and $15,000 in down payment assistance to qualifying homebuyers with a household income of less than 80% of the area median income.  These funds can be used to purchase an ANDP home or any other existing home in metro Atlanta and are available on a first-come-first-serve basis. This program is affiliated with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. Note that any homebuyer seeking these funds must have their lender apply on their behalf. The gray box on this page provides lenders with all necessary application information.  â€‹â€‹

​

NOTE: As of 6/3/2024, FHLBank Atlanta offers a new, limited-time DPA product for qualifying homebuyers with a household income between 80.01% and 120% AMI. The "Workforce Housing Plus" product offers qualifying buyers up to $15,000 in forgivable down payment assistance. Lenders, please use the same process to apply as the existing First-Time Homebuyer and Community Partners products. Note that the forms indicated in red to the right are specifically for the new Workforce Housing Plus product. 

​

​

HOME - The Federal HOME program provides homebuyer assistance based on the borrower's need, and amounts vary depending on the jurisdiction. Homebuyers' household income can not exceed 80% of the area median income for this program. We typically have no more than 3-4 homes available in this program at any time. 
 

​

ANDP Homebuyer Assistance Program (AHAP) - This internal program is offered solely by ANDP and is available only to select ANDP homes. The homebuyer assistance is in the form of a soft-second mortgage offered at zero percent interest, with all payments deferred. The assistance helps lower the housing cost by providing a greater down payment and reducing the mortgage amount. The assistance adds no expense to the monthly mortgage payment. The assistance provided with the zero percent second is not forgivable but will not be due until the home is sold, transferred, or 40 years, whichever comes first. MORE

​

Special Initiatives

(Homebuyer assistance, not traditional DPA)

​​​

​

ANDP Veterans Program - Provides up to $15,000 in homebuyer assistance to qualifying, honorably discharged Veterans, active-duty military personnel, reserve member, guard member, or Gold Star family member. Assistance provided comes in the form of seller contribution at closing. Qualifying participants can use these funds to purchase any ANDP property. MORE
 

 

ANDP First Generation Homebuyer Program - Provides up to $12,000 in homebuyer assistance to qualifying homebuyers. Qualifying participants can use these funds to purchase any ANDP property. 

 

For purposes of the ANDP First-Generation Homebuyer Assistance Program, a “first-generation homebuyer” is: a homebuyer who grew up in foster care; a homebuyer whose parents have not owned a home; a homebuyer whose parents have lost their home; or a homebuyer who has lost their home.

​

Assistance provided comes in the form of seller contribution at closing. Next steps: Have your real estate agent contact our listing agent for any ANDP home and make an offer. Our agent will guide your agent through the simple application process. (See our list of homes for sale).
