Kentucky Homebuyers: Big News! $12,500 Down Payment Assistance


Kentucky homebuyers — big news! For a limited time, you can get up to $12,500 in down payment assistance through the Kentucky Housing Corporation.


From August 21st through November 30th, KHC has boosted its assistance from $10,000 to $12,500. That’s more cash to cover your down payment, closing costs, and even prepaids.


This program works with FHA, VA, USDA, and Conventional loans. First-time and repeat buyers may qualify, with a minimum credit score of just 620


Example: On a $200,000 home, your down payment and closing costs could total $12,500. With KHC, you could buy with little to no money out of pocket.


Here’s how it works: check your credit, verify income, and apply through a KHC-approved lender. Funds are limited, so reserving early is key

Unlock Your Dream Home: Kentucky Down Payment Assistance Loans for 2025 – $10,000 Grants Available


Are you a Kentuckian dreaming of homeownership but struggling to save for a down payment? You’re not alone. According to the National Association of Realtors, nearly 60% of renters cite saving for a down payment as their biggest barrier to buying a home. Fortunately, Kentucky offers life-changing down payment assistance (DPA) programs to help bridge the gap—and in 2025, eligible buyers could qualify for **up to $10,000 in forgivable grants or low-interest loans** to make homeownership a reality. 

In this guide, we’ll break down everything you need to know about Kentucky’s 2025 down payment assistance programs, including eligibility criteria, application steps, and insider tips to maximize your savings. Let’s dive in! 

Why Kentucky Down Payment Assistance Matters in 2025


The median home price in Kentucky hovers around $225,000, meaning a traditional 20% down payment would require $45,000 upfront—a daunting figure for many families. However, with federal and state-backed DPA programs, qualified buyers can purchase a home with as little as **0–3% down**. For 2025, Kentucky is doubling down on its commitment to affordable housing by expanding access to grants, forgivable loans, and low-interest options. 

The star of the show? A **$10,000 down payment assistance grant** designed to help first-time buyers, veterans, educators, and low-to-moderate-income households. Let’s explore how this program works. 

How to Apply for Kentucky Down Payment Assistance in 2025


Follow these steps to secure your $10,000 grant: 

1. Check Your Eligibility

Use the KHC’s online eligibility calculator or consult a HUD-approved housing counselor. 

2. Get Pre-Approved for a Mortgage

Partner with a KHC-approved lender who understands DPA programs. 

Frequently Asked Questions


Q: Do I have to repay the $10,000 assistance?
A: Yes over 10 years at 3.75% rate works out to be around $100 a month added to your 1st mortgage payment

Q: Can I combine multiple DPA programs?
A: Sometimes! For example, you might pair the $10,000 grant with a Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) for tax savings. 

Q: Are there grants for home repairs?
A: No. KHC loan cannot be used for repairs to the house. It can only be used to meet the minimum down payment requirements and pay for your closing costs and prepaids if any monies are left over after you meet the minimum down payment requirements for FHA, VA, USDA and Conventional mortgage loans
