• Homeownership for People with Disabilities

  • When
    01 Oct 2021
  •  
    11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
  • Location
    Online

  The Maryland Mortgage Program (MMP) provides 30-year fixed-rate home loans to eligible homebuyers purchasing in Maryland. Loan terms are competitive with other home loan products on the market, but what makes MMP unique is the range of associated financial incentives and other assistance that, for many homebuyers, means the difference between being able to purchase and continuing to rent. MMP down payment assistance can only be obtained with an MMP first mortgage; it is not a standalone option.

  Hosted by Maddy Ciulu of the MD Department of Housing & Community Development
