Notice: The City of Anderson Homeowner Assistance Program is currently out of funding. The program is on hold until further notice.

What is the Homeowner Assistance Program?

The City of Anderson provides 0% interest loans to qualified low-income, first-time home buyers to help with their down payment and closing costs. The program is available inside city limits of the City of Anderson.

How much can you borrow?

The loan amount can be up to 50% of the purchase price. At the maximum purchase price of $209,000.00, the Homeowner Assistance Program (HAP) loan could be as much as $104,500.00. The borrower must contribute at least 3% of the purchase price to the sale transaction. This may be a gift.

A first-time home buyer is someone who has not owned a home in the last 3 years or who qualifies as a “displaced home-maker”.
