Down Payment Assistance

Colorado programs that help cover your down payment and closing costs so you can buy sooner.

All loan options

Colorado has state and local programs that help with down payment and closing costs, sometimes as a grant and sometimes as a second loan.

A good fit for

  • First-time and moderate-income buyers
  • Buyers with steady income but limited savings

How it works

  • Assistance is paired with a first mortgage such as FHA or conventional
  • Many programs require a homebuyer education class
  • Income and purchase-price limits often apply

Keep in mind

  • Some assistance must be repaid when you sell or refinance
  • Program funds and rules change — ask what's available now
