Genesis Program (Grant America)

The Genesis Program, also known as Grant America, offers down payment assistance to low and middle income home buyers. Buyers with an FHA loan or who are pre-approved for FHA mortgages qualify for this program.

• Grant America offers up to $34,000 in down payment assistance.
• This program for those buying new or resale homes.
• The seller must participate in the Grant America program and pay a fee.

Tell your realtor you want to buy a home using a seller in the Grant America program. Once you find a home you wish to buy, contact your loan officer. An application will be sent in your name for Grant America, which will send funds to approved buyers the day you close the deal.

Contact your loan officer if you have questions on the Grant America application process. Sellers must participate in the program. Your loan officer and realtor may be able to assist if the seller has questions about how to sign up.

Additional Information:

Since this program is no longer available, we recommend that you get pre-approved for a low down payment FHA home loan.

FHA LOAN QUESTION # 8   [ -more FHA questions- ]

Q: What is the FHA?

A: Now an agency within HUD, the Federal Housing Administration was established in 1934 to advance opportunities for Americans to own homes. By providing private lenders with mortgage insurance, the FHA gives them the security they need to lend to first-time buyers who might not be able to qualify for conventional loans. The FHA has helped more than 26 million Americans buy a home.

First time home buyers purchasing a home with an FHA loan or going through a HUD-approved charitable agency can use their 2009 First Time Homebuyer's Tax Credit to make their downpayment. Down payment assistance programs allowed the seller and charitable organizations to contribute towards the closing costs and down payment of FHA loans.
