Selling to a Participant of DC’s Home Purchase Assistance Program (HPAP) FAQs

  • HPAP DC, or the Home Purchase Assistance Program in the District of Columbia,, is a program that provides first-time homebuyers in Washington, D.C. with down payment and closing cost assistance to purchase single-family homes, condos, or co-ops. It offers up to $202,000 in down payment assistance and $4,000 for closing costs. 

  • The seller doesn't need to do anything specific to accommodate HPAP. The buyer's eligibility for HPAP is determined by DCHFA based on income and other factors. 

  • The buyer uses the HPAP loan, along with their own funds and a private mortgage, to purchase the property. The HPAP loan is deferred and doesn't require payments until the property is sold, refinanced, or no longer the buyer's primary residence.

  • HPAP does not accept seller-backed mortgage financing, so the seller cannot offer financing or other arrangements related to the HPAP loan.

  • The buyer must meet the eligibility requirements for HPAP, including being a first-time homebuyer, meeting income limits, and possessing a good credit rating.

  • The sale process is largely the same as for any other home sale. The seller negotiates the purchase price, listing works with a real estate agent, and handles the closing process.
