Hudson County Economic Development Corporation and

New Jersey Community Capital Form Partnership To Assist

Veterans and Low-Income Families With Down-Payment Assistance

The Hudson County Economic Development Corporation (HCEDC) has joined New Jersey Community Capital to develop a new Hudson County down payment assistance program targeting veterans and low-income families.  This program will provide a grant of up to $15,000 per household towards a down-payment to qualified veterans or other eligible applicants who are purchasing a primary residence in Hudson County.  In addition to down payment assistance, home buyers will be connected with affordable mortgage financing through non-profit credit unions and other qualified lenders as well as free HUD-certified housing counseling helping to ensure sustained, successful homeownership.

The Down Payment Assistance Program is being funded through a $200,000 allocation from the HCEDC.  At least 50% of the grants are earmarked for qualified veterans. Other applications from limited-income homebuyers are welcome.
