Down Payment Assistance
for Homeownership
The Equity Builder Program* (EBP), funded by the Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston (FHLB) is available at Rollstone Bank & Trust! It provides eligible first-time homebuyers with up to $30,806 in assistance towards your down payment, closing costs, or rehabilitation assistance. The grant does not need to be repaid, as long as you don't sell your home during the first five years of ownership.
The number of available grants is limited, and awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.
Eligibility
- Households earning 80% or less of the HUD area median income of their future property are eligible to apply.
- The future property must be a one- to four-family, owner-occupied, primary residence.
- Buyers must complete a first time homebuyer class.
