“Owning a home is foundational to long-term financial stability, and our goal is to ensure Veterans and their families are aware of the assistance available to them,” said DPR Founder and CEO Rob Chrane. “As we celebrate Veterans Day and Military Family Appreciation Month, we’d like to thank our Veterans, service members and their families. It’s our hope that these programs can unlock the doors to homeownership and all the benefits it brings for them in the coming year.”

An analysis of the 49 programs from DPR’s database showcases the range of assistance available to promote homeownership among Veterans, active-duty service members and their surviving spouses:

  • Financial assistance range: The programs offer homebuyer assistance ranging from $2,500 to $117,000.
  • Program types: The homeownership assistance program types consist of 20 second mortgage programs, 15 grants, 12 affordable first mortgage programs, one below market rate (BMR) program, and one other program.
  • Repayment features: Fifteen programs offer forgivable assistance, provided that all program conditions, such as owner-occupancy, are met. Fifteen are grant programs that do not have to be repaid.
  • Multi-family support: Twenty-four programs support the purchase of 1-4 unit residential multifamily properties.
  • Veterans exemptions: In addition to the 49 programs that exclusively serve Veterans, there are 211 homebuyer assistance programs that exempt Veterans from first-time homebuyer requirements.
