WISH grants can help first-time homebuyers overcome the biggest barrier to homeownership: down payment and closing costs. Targeted to individuals and families earning up to 80% of the area’s median income, these programs match $4 for every $1 a homebuyer contributes toward the purchase of a home. 

To be eligible for WISH Program funds, the homebuyer must:

• have successfully completed a homebuyer counseling program.
• be a first-time homebuyer, as defined by the Bank  
• meet income eligibility guidelines, as published by the Bank at the time of enrollment in the WISH Program and be at or below 80% of the HUD area median income.

Homebuyer Contribution:

• WISH Program contributions can include savings, gift funds, or sweat equity.
• May also include Individual Development Accounts (IDA) and Family Self Sufficiency (FSS) program savings.
