At Homestart Assistance, we believe homeownership is not a luxury — it's a foundation. It’s where families grow, memories are made, and long-term financial security begins. Our mission is to break down the financial barriers that keep deserving people from stepping through the front door of their own home.
We help buyers across the country access non-repayable down payment assistance, allowing them to buy smart, keep more savings, and move forward confidently into homeownership — whether it’s their first time or their fresh start.

Require repayment
Place second liens on your home
Force you to live in the home for 3, 5, or even 20 years
Only serve low-income borrowers or first-time buyers
Earning too much to qualify for “assistance” but not enough to save $20K+
Who wanted a low cash-to-close option without draining their savings
Who were disqualified by other programs for things like a high DTI or past financial mistakes
Homestart Assistance works with private funders, nonprofit partners, and forward-thinking lending institutions that believe in our mission to make homeownership more accessible and sustainable. Instead of relying on federal or state programs with layers of red tape, we leverage flexible, privately-backed grants that can be applied directly at closing — with no repayment requirements, no liens, and no catch. This means we can serve a wider variety of buyers, respond faster, and offer more competitive terms.
