Dayton Down Payment Assistance Program
Homebuyers in Dayton, Ohio may be able to utilize this down payment assistance program. Offered by the Homeownership Center, as much as 10% of the purchase price of a house can be utilized by first-time homebuyers as down payment and closing cost assistance. This assistance is offered in the form of a loan with 0% interest and deferred payments. It does not have to be paid back until the property is sold, refinanced, transferred, vacated, or becomes a rental property. As funds for this program are limited, its availability is first-come, first-serve.
The applicant’s total annual household income must be at or less than 80% of the area median income, or as follows (as of 2020):
- 1 person household: $35,650

- 3 person household: $45,850
- 4 person household: $50,900
- 5 person household: $55,000
- 6 person household: $59,050

Applicants must be able to pay a minimum of $500 from their own funds towards the home purchase. Further, applicants must complete homebuyer education and counseling.
Houses must be able to pass an inspection; if they cannot, the issues must be fixed prior to being approved for this program.
One-to-two unit properties (including condos and Planned Unit Developments) are allowed, as long as they will be serving as the applicant’s primary residence.
