Traditional DPA Programs
​
ANDP-FHLBank Atlanta DPA Program provides between $17,500 and $20,000 in down payment assistance to qualifying homebuyers with a household income of less than 80% of the area median income, and $15,000 for those between 80.1-120% of 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. ​​​
​
​
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
