MaineHousing provides low fixed rate mortgages and other assistance to help make homeownership affordable for more Maine people. No point and low point options are available. There are options with little or no down payment required, though if you still need help with the cash needed for closing, we also offer down payment and closing cost assistance.
MaineHousing mortgages even come with payment protection for unemployment. MaineHousing offers programs to help with your home improvement and repair needs. The Home Repair Program provides no cost or low cost loans to repair or replace failed wells, make heating, electrical, or structural repairs, and improve home accessibility.
MaineHousing also offers programs to make your home lead safe, or fund repairs if your home has been damaged in a declared natural disaster. Rental housing costs are increasingly out of reach for many lower and moderate income Maine people. Rental assistance, either in the form of housing choice vouchers, subsidized apartments or affordable rental housing can help.
Vouchers can help pay your rent in the apartment of your choice. Subsidized apartments provide qualified tenants below-market rents. Waiting lists can be long, so you may want to apply for both kinds of help.
Energy & Heating Assistance If you cannot afford to heat your home, pay electric bills, or would benefit from energy improvements such as new insulation, a new heating system, or energy efficient appliances, help may be available from MaineHousing programs. Lower income households may qualify for heating assistance and energy improvements at no cost to them.
