Veteran Down Payment Assistance Program - Habitat for Humanity

Veteran Down Payment Assistance Program

We deeply appreciate the service and the sacrifices our Veterans have made for our country. We understand that finding a place to call home is a significant step in building a stable and fulfilling life after service.

About the Veteran Down Payment Assistance Program

Habitat SKKC offers down payment assistance exclusively for veteran buyers of Habitat homes:

  • Up to $150,000
  • 0% deferred loan due upon transfer or sale of home

Additional benefits of Habitat’s Homeownership Program

  • Preserve Your VA Loan Benefits. Use your VA loan on your next home after building equity in your Habitat home.
  • Prioritized Selection Process. Habitat prioritizes veteran applicants by reserving homes for veteran buyers and offering additional points in our selection process for veteran status.
  • Step-by-Step Guidance. Habitat buyers are assigned to a Habitat staff member who provides step-by-step guidance from loan-preapproval to the transaction and closing process.

How to apply

Complete Habitat SKKC’s normal application process for the home you are interested in. On the application, mark that you are a veteran and upload the necessary documentation. Habitat SKKC will then review your application for the veteran down payment assistance program.
