Down Payment Assistance Programs in NH

Down Payment Assistance Programs in NH - NHHFA DPA

Down Payment Assistance

Are you ready to buy a home but having a little trouble coming up with the funds needed for a down payment? You may qualify for down payment assistance in NH with a program from New Hampshire Housing Finance Authority (NHHFA). Their cash assistance programs range from $5,000, $10,000, $15,000, $20,000, and even $25,000 as of  January 2025. Even with the cash assistance, expect to contribute from your own funds a minimum of 1% of the purchase price. There are income limits, purchase limits, and other requirements for these and all other NHHFA programs.

Home First Government: Combines New Hampshire Housing with FHA, VA, or Rural Development.  These programs are available with Down Payment Assistance or get a lower interest rate without the assistance!

Home Conventional: Combines New Hampshire Housing with Conventional Financing for more property choices. Like the Home First Government program, these programs are available with Down Payment Assistance or get a lower interest rate without the assistance!

Home Flex and the Fannie Preferred programs:  Combines New Hampshire Housing with FHA, VA, RD, and Conventional with less restrictive income limits. These programs have Down Payment Assistance like the Home First and Home Conventional Programs.

How does this work? Here’s how: The homebuyer is given a 0% interest, 0 payment cash-assist second mortgage for the amount of the assistance. This cash-assist second mortgage is forgivable after 4 years. There are no income limits and to sweeten the pie even more, the less cash assistance you need, the lower the interest rate.

Even if you don’t qualify for a NHHFA down payment/cash assistance program, you have other options to minimize your cash requirements:

  • $0 down programs
  • Seller-paid closing costs
  • Lender-paid closing costs
