Description

The Home Opportunity Program (HOP) provides assistance funds in the form of a zero-interest loan, with the first $10,000 conditionally forgivable over a five-year period. HOP assistance funding is very limited and will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. In addition to down payment assistance, applicants who qualify can receive up to $3,000 in closing cost assistance and a buy-down of the first mortgage, if necessary.

 

Only low-income, first-time homebuyers, are eligible; applicants must have an annual household income less than 80 percent of the area median income as determined and regionally adjusted by HUD. All homebuyers must also attend a homebuyer education class approved by Alaska Housing Finance Corporation (AHFC). The homebuyer may not be in arrears on any child support obligation.

 

Properties must be of non-luxury nature and must fall within the program’s purchase price limits for each area:
