What is a DPA Loan?

A Down Payment Assistance (DPA) Loan is designed to help homebuyers cover the initial costs of purchasing a home—specifically the down payment and sometimes closing costs. DPA programs are often offered by state housing agencies, nonprofits, or local governments and are especially helpful for first-time buyers or those with moderate incomes.

DPA can come in various forms:

Grants (no repayment required)
Forgivable loans (no repayment if you meet certain conditions)
Deferred-payment loans (repaid when you sell or refinance)
Low-interest second mortgages
