Down payment assistance for first-generation homebuyers in North Dakota

4 programs name first-generation homebuyers: 4 statewide.

Naming a group is one eligibility rule among several. Each program also sets an income limit, a price cap, an occupancy rule and a credit requirement. Being a first-generation homebuyer puts a program on this list; it does not decide whether you can use it.
