Affordable Home-Ownership Program

The Northeast Tennessee / Virginia HOME Consortium has initiated an Affordable Home-ownership Program designed to increase housing opportunities for low and moderate-income families. The Consortium has agreed to utilize Federal HOME funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and other grant programs to provide assistance in the form of a due-on-sale deferred payment loan that can be used for a down payment, and/or closing cost. The amount of assistance will be between $1,000 and $10,000 and will be based on the applicant’s need. A Subsidy Analysis will be prepared to determine need. Assistance is subject to the availability of funding.
