Why
this is important:
Homeownership is good for families, communities and the economy. Owning a home, and building equity in that home, is the single-most effective way for most Iowans to create wealth. Owning a home promotes family and neighborhood stability. The FirstHome and Homes for Iowans programs help low-and moderate-income Iowans achieve the dream of home ownership by providing low-cost mortgage financing through participating lenders across the state.
What we're doing about this:
The Iowa Finance Authority offers competitive interest rates, maintains strong relationships with lenders and Realtors and actively promotes its mortgage programs to potential homebuyers.
