Here’s what you need to know about the First-Generation Loan Program:
Maximum loan amount of $35,000
Forgivable if the borrower lives in the home
Half forgiven at year 10
Remaining balance forgiven at year 20
Could be combined with a standard Minnesota Housing downpayment assistance loan, for a total of up to $53,000



Available to Start Up borrowers who certify they are first-generation homebuyers. To learn more, visit the new First-Generation Homebuyer Loan webpage located in the Partner Portal. As the program launch approaches, they’ll update the page with training opportunities and additional information on the new program. They will be creating a consumer page with more information on their First-Generation Homebuyer Loan soon. Stay tuned!
