Single Family First-Time Homebuyer Program
Single Family First-Time Homebuyer Program Description
State and local governmental agencies and joint powers
authorities can issue tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds (MRBs)
or mortgage credit certificates (MCCs) to assist first-time
homebuyers to purchase homes. These agencies and authorities
may issue MRBs, the proceeds of which back below market
interest rate mortgages. As an alternative to issuing MRBs,
state and local governmental agencies and joint powers
authorities may issue MCCs. Homebuyers use the MCC to reduce
their federal tax liability by applying the credit to their
net tax due. Homebuyers may purchase single-family homes,
either free-standing detached, condominiums or townhouses.
Program participants must meet program income limits and must
purchase a home that falls within the program's purchase price
limitations.
