First Generation Program è aperto a chi compra la prima casa e chi compra casa e ci vivrà come residenza principale. Qui "prima casa" prevede delle eccezioni: Per first-mortgage product (FTHB waivers apply at first-mortgage level). MAHA's first-generation requirement does NOT have a waiver - the parent/spouse-parent never-owned criterion is absolute (except for foreclosure-loss exception, which counts as first-gen-eligible). Sul credito, il programma afferma: 640 minimum FICO. MAHA defers to first-mortgage lender overlays - no MAHA-specific credit overlay. È richiesto un corso per chi compra casa, tramite MAHA's HUD-certified Homeownership Advising program (8-hour pre-purchase + post-purchase classes); STASH First-Gen Home program graduates complete additional financial-literacy curriculum prior to grant disbursement. Requisito di residenza: Property must be in Massachusetts; primary residence. Statewide. No prior MA residency requirement; MAHA has historically focused on Greater Boston / Eastern MA but expanded statewide via 2024-2026 funding partnerships. Cittadinanza o status migratorio: Per first-mortgage product overlays. MAHA does not impose a separate citizenship overlay. FIRST-GENERATION HOMEBUYER REQUIRED: Borrower (and borrower's spouse, if applicable) AND borrower's parents (and spouse's parents) must NEVER have owned a home in the United States, OR must have lost a home in the U.S. due to foreclosure. This is the defining MAHA first-gen criterion - it is stricter than a standard first-time homebuyer (FTHB) test and is documented via a MAHA self-certification + parent disclosure. Also required: first-time homebuyer (no ownership of primary residence in past 3 years), owner-occupied MA primary residence, household income at or below 100% AMI for the county of purchase, minimum household income of $45,000/year (savings-capacity floor), 640 minimum FICO, completion of MAHA's STASH First-Gen Home matched-savings + financial-literacy curriculum (typically 6-12 months of program participation prior to closing), and completion of MAHA's HUD-certified pre-purchase homebuyer education course.

First Generation Program limita il reddito familiare al 100% del reddito mediano dell'area, che varia in base alla contea e alla dimensione del nucleo familiare. Household income at or below 100% AMI for the county of purchase (HUD AMI tables). Published ceiling approximately $218,350 for 4+ person household in highest-cost MA MSA. Minimum household income of $45,000/year required (demonstrates capacity to save and complete the STASH matched-savings program). Income includes all household members 18+. Il limite si applica al reddito totale del nucleo familiare, non solo a quello del richiedente del mutuo. I dati sul reddito mediano dell'area sono pubblicati da HUD e aggiornati ogni anno, quindi controlla la tabella attuale della contea prima di basarti su una cifra.

First Generation Program limita il prezzo di acquisto così: MAHA imposes no separate purchase-price cap; first-mortgage product limits apply (e.g., MassHousing $838,717 1-unit; ONE+Boston $585,000 1-unit Boston). I tipi di immobile idonei includono Single-family detached, 2-4 unit owner-occupied, condo, townhouse, PUD. Per first-mortgage product overlays. Le nuove costruzioni sono idonee. Le case prefabbricate non sono idonee.

First Generation Program cita chi è il primo della propria famiglia a comprare casa tra i gruppi a cui si rivolge. Essere citati qui significa che il programma menziona il gruppo, non che l'appartenenza basti da sola a soddisfare i requisiti: valgono comunque le altre regole di idoneità.
