A new state program offers help with the downpayment for those looking to buy a home. The “Hashtag Own It Iowa” (#OwnItIowa) program was laid out during the governor’s weekly news conference. The Iowa Finance Authority and the Iowa Association of REALTORS®  are sponsors for the program which offers 15-hundred dollars in closing cost assistance with conventional loans.  Iowa Finance Authority Executive Director Dave Jamison says it also offers five-thousand dollars in assistance for eligible service members and veterans, and the chance for anyone to win 25-hundred dollars in cash.

 

Jamison says they’ve worked to meet the needs of both low and middle income Iowans, and they might be surprised that they are eligible for assistance.
