What is HomeAccess?

HomeAccess is a first mortgage for homebuyers in Statewide County, North Dakota, administered by North Dakota Housing Finance Agency (NDHFA).

  • HomeAccess provides low-interest first mortgages to single-parent, veteran/active-service, disabled, or elderly (65+) households not eligible for FirstHome due to owning a home in the prior three years. DPA can be added via DCA or Start.
  • Below-market interest rate first mortgage for targeted households; can be paired with DCA or Start DPA.

Do you have to pay it back?

HomeAccess is a first mortgage and is repaid under the terms set by North Dakota Housing Finance Agency (NDHFA).

  • Forgiveness and repayment terms are set by the program and can change — confirm them on the official program page before applying.

Who qualifies?

HomeAccess is open to buyers who will live in the home as their primary residence.

The program requires

  • The home is occupied as a primary residence
  • A completed homebuyer education course
  • Targets single-parent, veteran/active-duty, disabled, and elderly (65+) households. Interest rate, min credit score, max DTI not published.

The program excludes

  • Purchases above the $481,176 price cap
  • Households above $110,000

These are the program's own published rules, not a decision about any individual — the administering agency and a lender determine who actually qualifies.

What are the income limits?

HomeAccess limits household income to $110,000.

  • The limit applies to total household income, not only the borrower’s.
  • Area median income figures are published by HUD and updated annually, so check the current table for the county before relying on a number.

What kind of home can it be used for?

HomeAccess caps the purchase price at $481,176.

  • Eligible property types include single family, duplex, triplex, fourplex, and manufactured home on permanent foundation.
  • New construction is eligible.
  • Manufactured homes are eligible.

Is there eligibility for specific groups?

HomeAccess names veterans, active-duty service members, reservists and National Guard members, surviving spouses, and buyers with disabilities among the groups it serves.

  • Being named here means the program mentions the group, not that membership alone qualifies an applicant — the rest of the eligibility rules still apply.

Where does it apply?

HomeAccess serves buyers purchasing in Statewide County, North Dakota.
