The Gwinnett County Homestretch Down Payment Assistance Program provides up to $10,000 in forgivable loan assistance to eligible first-time homebuyers purchasing a home in Gwinnett County. The loan carries 0% interest with no monthly payments; the principal is reduced by 20% each year beginning on the first anniversary of the security deed, and the lien is fully canceled after 5 years provided the home remains the buyer's primary residence. Assistance may be used for down payment, closing costs, prepaid items, HOA fees, and courier fees. The program is funded through federal HOME Investment Partnerships Program funds and administered by Gwinnett County Community Development.
