Home Purchase Assistance Program | dhcd The Home Purchase Assistance (HPAP) program provides interest-free loans and closing cost assistance to qualified applicants to purchase single family houses, condominiums, or cooperative units in the District. The loan amount is based on a combination of factors, including income, household size, and the amount of assets that each applicant must commit toward a property’s purchase.
The loan is subordinate to a private first trust mortgage, and HPAP does not accept seller-backed mortgage financing. This dashboard will share the amount of Home Purchase Assistance Program (HPAP) funds that are available for Fiscal Year 2026 which begins on October 1, 2025. Applicants will be assisted on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Current HPAP Notice of Eligibility(NOE) and Notice to Continue (NTC) holders will be assisted in order of their initial application/NOE date. A Notice to Proceed (NTP) will be issued by the program administrators (e.g., Greater Washington Urban League and DC Housing Finance Agency). After the NTP is received, an HPAP applicant has 90 days to choose a home, enter into a contract, and close on a home by August 1, 2026.
If you have not yet applied for HPAP or received a Notice of Eligibility, or have any other questions, please contact your Housing Counselor or visit Eligibility/How to Apply for more information. Eligible applicants can receive a maximum of $202,000 in gap financing assistance and an additional $4,000 in closing cost assistance.

Moderate-income borrowers who earn between 80 percent and 110 percent MFI will have payments deferred for five years with a 40 year principal-only repayment period.
