NEIGHBORHOOD STABILIZATION PROGRAM

In the wake of the 2008 mortgage crisis, the federal government took action to help bolster the weakened economy and help fix the housing market.  This included the creation of the Neighborhood Stabilization Program.  As the name suggests, this program was formed to stabilizing areas that had suffered from foreclosures.

This program includes grant money that has been offered to states, local governments and select non-profit entities.

It was originally created in 2008 as part of the Housing and Economic Recovery Act.

It was then continued through a second round of funding provided in 2009 under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

Next, additional funds were authorized under the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act in 2010.

What Are AZ Home Buyer Grants?

Many home buyers search for home loan grants Arizona. How do they work?  Grants are given by the federal, state or local governments and, when available, are great to help with down payment assistance and closing costs.

Unlike some types of assistance, grants are not expected to be repaid.

There are a variety of different down payment assistance programs available in Arizona. They are offered through the state, county and city governments and state housing agencies and are made available to serve low to average income earning Arizona families.  They also help revitalize areas that have been hit hard by foreclosures to help boost and stabilize home values.

At times, instead of a true grant program, many of the down payment assistance programs will provide the assistance funds in the form of a silent second that has no interest, no payment and is forgiven monthly over the first three years of home ownership.
