The Arizona Department of Housing, acting jointly with the Arizona Home Foreclosure Prevention Funding Corporation and the Arizona Housing Finance Authority has created programs to assist Arizonans statewide who are looking to become homeowners.
The first p
rogram (Home Plus Home Loan Program) is geared to assist creditworthy renters who ca
n afford a mortgage but lack the resources for a down payment.
The second program (Pathway to Purchase Down Payment Assistance) is an incentive for qualified home buyers to purchase a primary residence in 17 targeted housing markets that have been hardest-hit by foreclosures.
Maricopa County also offers the Home in 5 Advantage down payment assistance program. Through the Home in Five Advantage program, you and 
your family may be eligible for a 2.5% or 3.5% (depending on your FICO score) down payment/closing cost assistance grant (no repayment is required), with a .5% origination fee.
