IHDA Down Payment Assistance
The Illinois Housing Development Authority (IHDA) offers one of the most active down payment assistance lineups in the Midwest. Access Home is IHDA's newest program — up to $15,000 as a 0% interest deferred second mortgage, available statewide to first-time buyers. IHDA also runs Access Forgivable, Access Deferred, and Access Repayable, each with different repayment structures, plus the 1st Home Illinois grant that can stack an additional $5,000 on top. Rob helps Illinois buyers compare these side by side and find out which combination puts the most money toward their purchase.
