Portland Grant Program
Portland Home Purchase Assistance Program
The Portland Housing Bureau (PHB) Home Purchase Assistance Program (HPAP) allows approved mortgage lenders the ability to offer home buyers financial assistance that can be used for down payment, closing costs, and prepaid mortgage insurance in exchange for charging an increased interest rate on their 30-year mortgage.
This is great for buyers who have 620+ Credit, a steady income, and looking for assistance with a down-payment on their primary residence.
