Community-based first-generation homebuyers assistance program modification
SF 1610 modifies Minnesota's community-based first-generation homebuyers down payment assistance program. It provides up to $32,000 as a no-interest, forgivable loan (20% forgiven annually over five years) to eligible first-time homebuyers who never owned a home or lost one to foreclosure, with income at or below 100% of the area median. The loan covers down payments or closing costs and must pair with a conforming mortgage, requiring completion of homebuyer education. The bill updates the program's funding structure, sets a future maximum based on median home prices (starting in 2027), and mandates annual reporting by the administrator (MMCDC) on loan details and demographic data.
