Down Payment Assistance

Choose Your Path: 3% or 5% Assistance

At New American Funding, we know that saving for a down payment can be one of the biggest hurdles to homeownership—especially for first-time buyers. That’s why we offer the NAF Pathway for homebuyers with credit scores of 580+, a down payment assistance program designed to make buying a home more affordable and achievable.

With NAF Pathway, eligible buyers can receive either:

  • 3% of the home’s purchase price

  • 5% of the home’s purchase price

These funds can be used toward your down payment and/or closing costs, making it easier to get into a home with less upfront cash.

Key Benefits

  • No Repayment Required – In many cases, the assistance is structured as a forgivable grant.
  • Available for First-Time Buyers – Designed specifically to help those entering the housing market.
  • Flexible Options – Choose between 3% and 5% assistance based on your financial needs.
  • Use With Eligible Loan Programs – Works with qualifying mortgage programs through New American Funding.
  • Helps Reduce Upfront Costs – Keep more of your savings for moving expenses, home furnishings, and more.
