KansasDPA Bond Program

KansasDPA Bond Program is a grant for homebuyers in Statewide, Kansas. KansasDPA Bond Program is a tax-exempt MRB-funded first-mortgage program offering a 30-year fixed-rate first mortgage paired with a non-repayable grant equal to 5% of the loan amount. Designed primarily for first-time homebuyers; FTHB rule waived in federally targeted census tracts and for qualifying veterans. 640/660/680 FICO tiers; bond income/purchase-price caps apply. Statewide via KansasDPA participating lender network. KansasDPA Bond Program provides a non-repayable grant of up to 5% of the first-mortgage note amount, applicable to down payment, closing costs, prepaids, or principal reduction. The grant is tied to a 30-year fixed-rate first mortgage funded with proceeds from tax-exempt private-activity (Mortgage Revenue Bond / MRB) bonds. Because bond proceeds enable below-conventional pricing, the program structure delivers a higher relative DPA percentage (5%) than the parallel TBA-funded KansasDPA Program. There is no second lien, no second note, no deed restriction, and no recapture of the assistance unless fraud is found at origination. Funding comes from State and Bond.

KansasDPA Bond Program is structured as a grant, so it is not repaid. Repayment is triggered by None - true grant and no repayment unless fraud at origination. The assistance is recorded in 1st Lien (DPA is grant - no separate lien) position. Forgiveness and repayment terms are set by the program and can change — confirm them on the official program page before applying.
