Waterloo Community Development will provide up to a maximum of $10,000 in Homebuyer Assistance after seller concessions and lender credits. Funds are available on a first come, first served basis. The assistance is in the form of a 0% interest deferred forgivable loan. To participate , the borrower is required to provide a minimum contribution of $1,000 towards the purchase price of the home. Escrow funds, professional inspections, and other items paid outside of closing by borrower may count towards the borrowers minimum contribution.

What are the Home Buyer Education Classes?
Each session is a series of 4 classes and the fee is $20.00 per household. Participants learn important facts on how to buy a house. Completion of these classes is required in order to receive down payment assistance.
