Helping New Homeowners
In an agreement with the City of Cleveland Heights, Home Repair Resource Center facilitates applications for the City's Down Payment Assistance Program. The program provides up to $30,000 to income-eligible buyers of one- and two-family homes throughout the city.
Program details and requirements can be found on the Down Payment Assistance Fact Sheet.
Note that applicants must receive certification of completion of pre-purchase and home maintenance counseling from a H.U.D. approved agency. HRRC is one of the agencies that distributes certificates after completion of our Home Buyer Education Series.
Interested buyers should complete the Pre-Qualifying Questionnaire in order to receive an application.
The Buyer's Checklist will list all the application documents needed to be turned in with the application.
