Location rule and boundary evidence
Where the reviewed rules apply
No buyer address is selected. These maps do not establish financial eligibility, funding availability, or property approval.
No current, human-approved coverage policy is available. Imported location labels and provider offices are not proof of coverage.
What would paying it back look like?
The 50% discount is a silent second loan with zero interest and no payments. It's fully forgiven after you live in the home for three years — so if you stay, you never pay it back.
These terms describe the assistance. Any mortgage used to buy the home has its own repayment terms. Check the provider's documents before accepting an offer.
Could this be a fit for me?
Start with the recorded requirements. Unknown information stays unknown; the program makes the final decision.

A recorded permission has missing, unavailable or mismatched source evidence. Do not rely on this pairing until the evidence is repaired. HUD generally permits state/local government assistance (which HPAP is) on a GNND purchase, but no DC DHCD document specifically addresses GNND; the buyer must independently qualify under HPAP rules (DC property, primary residence, income limits) and the as-is HUD REO home must pass HPAP requirements. (Per HUD/FHA — Good Neighbor Next Door Sales lender fact sheet (GNNDLenderFS 20260528): "Additional assistance from state or local government sources may be used in conjunction with GNND;")
