Metro Mortgage Assistance

Have you dreamed of owning a home but didn't think you could qualify for a mortgage? The City and County of Denver and the Metro Mayors Caucus announce the Metro Mortgage Assistance program! The City and County of Denver, along with over 20 other front-range cities, is offering a special mortgage assistance program for first-time home buyers with qualifying incomes. The first-time homebuyer requirement is waived if homes purchased are in Target Areas.

The Metro Mortgage Assistance program is designed to help homebuyers purchase a newly-constructed or existing home by providing a below market mortgage loan interest rate (as of 2/11/2008--6.33%) and a 4.00% grant for down payment and closing cost assistance. This program is targeted to low- and moderate-income households, and loans will be made on a first-come first served basis.

The loans are either FHA-insured, VA-guaranteed, Rural Housing Service (RHS), Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac eligible conventional 30-year fixed rate mortgages. A 1.00% Origination fee payable by the borrower or seller plus customary closing costs will be due at closing. This program is only available through participating lenders. Funds are limited.

Homes may be purchased in the following cities: Arvada, Aurora, Bennett, Brighton, Broomfield, Centennial, Dacono, Denver, Edgewater, Erie, Federal Heights, Frederick, Golden, Greenwood Village, Lafayette, Littleton, Lone Tree, Longmont, Louisville, Northglenn, Sheridan, Superior, and Westminster.
