NMHL is a licensed Louisiana lender specializing in helping borrowers overcome down payment assistance. Get expert guidance and personalized solutions.

We Understand What You're Going Through

The down payment is the single biggest barrier to homeownership. The average first-time buyer needs $15,000-$30,000 for a down payment, which takes years to save. Many buyers are unaware that over 2,000 DPA programs exist offering grants, forgivable loans, and other assistance. These programs serve a wider income range than most people expect, with some allowing household incomes up to $150,000.

Solutions for Down Payment Assistance in Louisiana

NMHL offers multiple pathways to homeownership for Louisiana borrowers.

State Housing Authority Programs

Every state has a housing finance authority that offers down payment assistance to qualifying buyers. Programs vary but often include grants of 3-5% of the purchase price, forgivable loans, and below-market-rate first mortgages.

Available in every state Grants up to 5% of purchase price Forgivable loan options

Local Government DPA

Cities and counties often have their own down payment assistance programs with different eligibility criteria than state programs. Some borrowers qualify for both state and local programs, stacking assistance for maximum benefit.

FHA + DPA Combination

FHA loans allow 100% of the down payment to come from DPA grants or gifts. Combined with FHA's 3.5% down requirement, a qualifying DPA grant can cover your entire down payment, making true zero-out-of-pocket homeownership possible.

Zero out-of-pocket possible FHA allows full DPA coverage Grants plus low-down-payment loans
