Down Payment Assistance Program Updates

Published Last updated

Assistance programs change their income limits, award sizes and funding availability without notice. Every change we record to the directory is logged here with the date it took effect and the source it was verified against, so you can see exactly how current a program record is.

How a change gets published

A change enters the log in one of three ways: our monthly review of every page in the directory, a report sent in by a buyer, agent or loan officer using the report link on a program page, or a funding notice published by the administering agency itself.

Nothing is published on a single report. Every reported change is checked against the administering agency's own published guidelines or funding notice before the program record moves, and the entry names the source we checked.

  • Verified — the record was re-checked against the agency source and nothing material changed.
  • Terms changed — an award amount, income limit, purchase-price cap, credit floor or repayment rule moved.
  • Funding status — the program opened, moved to a waitlist, ran low or closed to new reservations.
  • Added — a program entered the directory.
  • Retired — the agency ended the program or replaced it.
  • Correction — we fixed something we had wrong.

What this log does not promise

A program record can be accurate on the day it was verified and out of date the following week, because agencies are under no obligation to tell aggregators anything. The verification date on each program page tells you how much weight to put on it.

Funding availability is the most volatile field of all. Popular allocations open in January and can be exhausted by mid-year, then reopen with new funding. Always confirm current availability with the administrator before you write an offer, no matter what a badge on this site says.

Nothing in this log is a quote, a rate lock, an offer or a commitment to lend, and an entry here does not mean a program is available to you.

Simply Approved Mortgages LLC does not administer, control, fund, or guarantee third-party assistance unless expressly stated otherwise.

Listing or displaying a program does not constitute an offer of that program, a representation that funding is currently available, or a determination that a borrower or property qualifies. Program availability, funding, assistance amounts, income limits, purchase-price limits, credit requirements, occupancy requirements, geographic restrictions, homebuyer education requirements, participating-lender requirements, repayment terms, and other eligibility criteria vary by program and may change or become unavailable without notice. Eligibility and current program terms must be confirmed for the particular transaction.

Types of assistance. Down payment or closing-cost assistance may be structured as a grant, forgivable loan, deferred-payment loan, repayable second mortgage or other form of assistance. Assistance structured as a lien or secondary financing may be subject to repayment, forgiveness, occupancy, resale, refinance, or other conditions. Assistance should not be considered "free money" unless the applicable program documents expressly provide that the assistance is a grant with no repayment obligation.

Receiving or potentially qualifying for down payment assistance does not guarantee mortgage approval, guarantee receipt of assistance, or necessarily eliminate all funds that a borrower may be required to contribute to a transaction.

Credit and program terms. All loans are subject to lender credit approval, underwriting, acceptable appraisal, title review, insurance, and supporting documentation. Eligibility, programs, rates, APRs, points, fees, payments, terms, loan amounts, down-payment requirements, and availability may vary based on borrower, property, occupancy, credit profile, loan-to-value ratio, debt-to-income ratio, lender, assistance program, and location and may change without notice. Not all borrowers, properties, products, or programs will qualify or be available in every location. Nothing on this site constitutes a loan approval, rate lock, offer, commitment to lend, guarantee of assistance, or guarantee of closing.

Rates, payments and calculators. Rates, APRs, payments, down payments, estimated assistance amounts, affordability, home prices, closing costs, savings, and other calculator or scenario results displayed on this site are estimates or illustrations unless expressly stated otherwise. Actual eligibility, assistance, and loan terms may differ. Taxes, homeowners insurance, mortgage insurance, association dues, lender charges, broker compensation, discount points, third-party charges, and other costs may apply. Advertised rates, payments, APRs, down payments, and other credit terms are subject to the assumptions and disclosures presented with the applicable advertisement.

Government affiliation. Simply Approved Mortgages LLC is not a government agency and is not affiliated with, acting on behalf of, sponsored by, or endorsed by HUD, FHA, VA, USDA, any housing finance agency, or any other federal, state, or local government agency.

The figures produced here are estimates generated from the numbers you entered. They are not a loan offer, pre-approval, approval, commitment to lend, rate quote or rate lock, and they do not guarantee any loan term, payment or amount of assistance. Your actual figures depend on lender underwriting, program rules, property, credit profile and the pricing available on the day you lock.

This estimate excludes property taxes, homeowners insurance, mortgage insurance, HOA dues, closing costs unless the tool states otherwise, so your real monthly cost and cash to close will be higher.

Simply Approved Mortgages LLC · NMLS# 2620881

It layers with FHA 203(b) or FHA 203(k) purchase first mortgages only, and the second lien is priced at the first-mortgage rate plus 2.00%.

*Our wholesale lender partner offers this product nationwide, but Simply Approved Mortgages LLC is licensed to arrange residential mortgage loans in Florida and Colorado only, so we can originate it in those two states only. Outside Florida and Colorado this is educational information and you should work with a lender licensed in your state.

How it works

1. Find the assistance you qualify for

Answer ten short questions and our DPA matching tool screens your location, income, price range, credit band and first-time buyer status against every state, county and city program we track.

2. A licensed loan officer reviews it with you

A Simply Approved loan officer confirms which programs your file can actually use, how each one is structured, and what it means for your monthly payment and closing costs.

3. Pair assistance with your first mortgage

Assistance is delivered through an approved first mortgage. We arrange the FHA, conventional, VA or USDA loan underneath it and reserve the assistance funds once you are under contract.

4. Funds arrive at closing

The assistance is wired to the closing agent and applied to your down payment and, where the program permits, closing costs — so your own savings stay where they belong.

Repayment: The second lien is a recorded lien with a monthly payment that is underwritten into your debt-to-income ratio. Layered DPA affects your final rate and mortgage insurance; your Simply Approved Mortgages Loan Officer will disclose the side-by-side comparison before you commit. Program terms, income limits, funding availability and eligibility requirements are subject to change without notice and must be confirmed in writing. Nothing here is an offer of credit, an approval, or a guarantee of eligibility, funding or any particular term. All loans are subject to lender underwriting and approval. Equal Housing Opportunity.

Expert Insight

Simply Approved Mortgages Team

Entity-level review

We log verification, not just publication

Every entry here records when a program's terms were checked against the administering agency and what changed. A program with no recent entry is one we have not re-verified, and we would rather show that plainly than imply currency we cannot support.

Takeaway:Treat an old verification date as a prompt to confirm terms directly.

The only way to know which program, down-payment structure, and closing-cost strategy actually fits your file is to walk through it with a Simply Approved Mortgages Loan Officer who can compare the real numbers side-by-side on a Loan Estimate.
