For many potential home buyers with a steady income and good credit, the biggest barrier to buying their first home is coming up with the funds needed for down payment and closing costs.  Community Building Partnership and the City of Canton have partnered to offer first-time homeowners assistance with down payment and closing costs.

​

Eligible applicants can receive up to $5,000 toward down payment and costs associated with purchasing your first home. The program objective is to offer low-to-moderate income, first-time home buyers assistance with these upfront costs of purchasing a home, making home ownership more affordable.  All you need to get started is a letter of pre-approval from a lender and a purchase agreement!
