Program Summary
The National Homebuyers Fund is a non profit organization. The ACCESS program is desinged to help low and moderate income homebuyers purchase a home even if they don’t have funds for a traditional down payment or closing costs.
One great benefit of the NFH ACCESS program is that it is backed by private financing which provides for a ongoing source of funds unlike many county and state programs that have limited funds.
