You can get a $5,000 grant toward the down payment and closing costs on a qualifying home in Iowa, and combine it with the FirstHome Program or the Homes for Iowans Program. Inactive duty training, annual training and active duty for training do not count toward the 90-day active duty requirement, and the active duty does not have to be consecutive. Funding is limited.
Contact an Iowa Finance Authority participating lender, and get the Authority’s approval before you close on the home. For help, email homebuyer.inquiry@iowafinance.com.
Your DD214 or discharge paperwork showing qualifying active duty service, your VA disability rating documentation if you are qualifying on that basis, or proof of your relationship to the service member if you are a surviving spouse.
