GRB and the Federal Home Loan Bank of NY (FHLBNY) work together to provide down payment assistance to qualified first-time homebuyers. The FHLBNY First Home Club provides
$4 in matching grant funds at closing for each $1 saved in a dedicated First Home Club Savings Account at GRB, up to $7,500 in matching funds. Before purchasing a home, participants
make monthly deposits over a period of 10 – 18 months into this account. Participants are not eligible to receive the matching funds if they do not complete the savings program. Maintaining
the First Home Club Savings Account does not guarantee a mortgage approval or approval of the FHLBNY grant. All funds are applied towards down payment and closing costs. Eligibility
requirement: Participants must be first time homebuyers (have not owned a home, individually or with a spouse, within the last three years), reside and purchase a home in New York, and
have a household income at or below 80% of area median income. Participants must also complete an accredited home ownership course. The participant must remain in the home for at
least five years or they will be required to repay a prorated portion of the grant funds back to the FHLBNY.
