Homestretch Down Payment Assistance Program

About the Program
The Homestretch Down Payment Assistance Program provides down-payment assistance to income-eligible homebuyers who have the capacity to purchase a home but lack the money needed for a down-payment.  We offer down-payment assistance up to $7,500 as a five-year deferred payment loan with 0% interest to qualified homebuyers who occupy the home as their principle residence for a period of at least five years. 

Eligibility Requirements 
In order to qualify for this program, applicants must meet the following criteria:

  • Must earn below 80% of Area Median
  • Must be a first-time homebuyer
  • Must have at least one credit score above 640
  • Debt-to-Income Ratio cannot exceed 43%


View current income eligibility limits for this program. Additionally, this program contains property eligibility requirements that are as follows:

  • Property must be either a single-family detached home or townhome
  • Property must be located within Gwinnett County
  • Property must pass a Uniform Property Conditions Standards Inspection
  • Property may not cost more than $211,000.00 for an existing home or $289,000.00 for new construction. [Effective 7/20/2020]


Once an applicant is determined to be eligible for this program, it will take 30 days for a check to be drafted for the down-payment funding.
