Affordable Housing Resources

"Time to Own" Homeownership Assistance Program

Connecticut recently launched the "Time to Own" program, which provides funding to low and moderate-income first-time homebuyers for down payments and closing costs. Under the program, which is administered by the CT Housing Finance Authority, funding will cover up to a 20% down payment and up to 5% in closing costs. Each year, 10% of the principal balance will be forgiven annually until the loan is fully forgiven on the 10th anniversary date of the loan closing. Please visit the website of Connecticut Housing Finance Authority.
