Downpayment Assistance Programs

Michigan First Mortgage partners with many programs and lenders to offer Down Payment Assistance (DPA) to potential homebuyers. Speak with your loan officer today to determine what programs you may qualify for.
  • HomeBoost provides qualified families may receive up to $25,000 that can be used for a down payment, closing cost assistance, and counseling fees.
  • The Detroit Down Payment Assistance (DPA) provides qualified families grants up to $25,000 for down payments, pre-paid including interest rate buy down, closing costs, and principal reduction when purchasing a home using a purchase mortgage or a purchase renovation mortgage*.
  • Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) loans come with cash that can be put towards a down payment, closing costs or some types of insurance.


The grants are available to homebuyers who have not held an interest in a property for the last three years. All grant recipients must have household incomes of less than 300% of the National Poverty Level issued annually by the Department of Health and Human Services. The purchased home must be the principal resident for three years after the grant is awarded or the grant must be repaid.
