FIRST TIME HOME OWNERSHIP PROGRAM

The Interfaith Housing First Time Homeownership Program is an excellent way for individuals and families with low to moderate incomes to purchase a first home.

IHS acquires and rehabilitates, or builds new, single family homes for sale to qualifying first-time homebuyers. Since 1995, IHS built or acquired and rehabilitated 34 single-family homes. Our goal is to sell six homes per year to qualified buyers.

Many people have a steady income but are not able to save enough money for the down payment on a home. Through this program, the small payment of 2% down makes homeownership possible.

If you fall within the income guidelines, have good credit, are willing to help with simple construction or rehabbing projects in the home, and want to purchase in Reno or Harper Counties, you could own your own home.

There is a waiting list for available homes and it could be up to a year or more before one becomes available, but if you can be patient and wait, you will have a quality home at an affordable price.
