(Atlantic) The Southwest Iowa Planning Council (SWIPCO) is seeking applicants for its Homeownership Assistance Program.
Alexsis Fleener, Community Development Director, said the program is made possible by a $100,000 grant from the Iowa Finance Authority and administered by SWIPCO’s Southwest Iowa Housing Trust Fund. Fleener said this program involves down-payment assistance for someone who is purchasing a home; it doesn’t matter if it is their first, second or third home.
Fleener said the program offers funding to low- and moderate-income individuals and families in Cass, Fremont, Harrison, Mills, Montgomery, Page and Shelby counties.
Fleener said they can provide up to seven percent of the purchase price of a home, and that cannot exceed $7,000.
Fleener said homebuyers must have signed a purchase agreement in effect and have a mortgage application in process with a lender.
To apply for the Homeownership Assistance Program, contact SWIPCO at 712-243-4196.
