ATLANTA – The Atlanta Development Authority (ADA) is partnering with the Atlanta Housing Authority (AHA) and HomeFree-USA during the month of October for “Fall into Homeownership” Month. Buyers who meet all eligibility requirements and obtain lender loan approval may qualify to receive down payment assistance from ADA and AHA. ADA has $25 million in first-mortgage capital in addition to several programs designed to help assist in-town buyers with down payment and closing costs.

 

Based on the geographic location of the property to be purchased, the ADA downpayment assistance can be used in conjunction with the AHA downpayment assistance. By combining these programs, buyers who qualify may be eligible to receive up to $40,000 in downpayment assistance. A series of events is scheduled for the month of October that will teach interested homeowners about the downpayment assistance programs available to them and highlight the housing developments that are eligible for homeownership incentives.

 

While the maximum household income limit can be as high as $82,000, the average household income of a program participant is $46,600. The average sales price of a home is $157,880.
