OHFA Dream Loan Program

OHFA Dream Loan Program is a grant for homebuyers in Statewide, Oklahoma. OHFA Dream is OHFA's bond-funded (Mortgage Revenue Bond) first-mortgage program with a 3.5% down payment and closing-cost assistance grant. Because the program is funded by tax-exempt bonds, it has IRS first-time-homebuyer and recapture-tax rules but offers higher income/purchase-price limits than OHFA Gold. The grant equals 3.5% of the first-mortgage amount, never has to be repaid, and is layered with a 30-year fixed FHA, VA, USDA-RD, or conventional (HFA Preferred / HFA Advantage) first mortgage. 3.5% down payment / closing-cost assistance grant (no repayment) layered on a competitive 30-year fixed bond-funded first mortgage. Designed for first-time homebuyers (waived in IRS-designated targeted areas). Higher purchase-price and income limits than the OHFA Gold non-bond TBA. Funding comes from Bond and State.

OHFA Dream Loan Program is structured as a grant, so it is not repaid. Repayment is triggered by None — grant and no repayment required. The assistance is recorded in 1 position. Forgiveness and repayment terms are set by the program and can change — confirm them on the official program page before applying.

OHFA Dream Loan Program is open to homebuyers who will live in the home as their primary residence. On credit, the program states: 640 minimum middle FICO across all loan products. A homebuyer education course is required, through HUD-approved homebuyer education provider; OHFA online course via Framework or eHome America accepted. Residency requirement: Property must be located in Oklahoma and used as borrower's primary residence. Citizenship or immigration status: U.S. citizen or qualified permanent/non-permanent resident alien per first-mortgage product overlays. Bond-funded MRB program — borrower must meet IRS first-time-homebuyer rule (no ownership of principal residence in last 3 years), waived in IRS-designated targeted areas. Federal recapture tax may apply. Income and purchase-price limits vary by county and target/non-target status.
