FIRST-TIME HOMEBUYERS
For New Jersey residents looking to buy their first home, saving enough money for a down payment often comes second to more immediate costs of living – student loans, childcare, rent, insurance, and additional expenses.
When families are ready to purchase their new home, the New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency can help.

NJHMFA’s Down Payment Assistance program provides up to $15,000 in assistance to eligible first-time homebuyers for down payment and closing costs, which is forgiven after five years if the borrower doesn’t refinance or default on their mortgage.
