The Illinois Housing Development Authority is willing to help any armed service person to purchase a home if he or she has one thousand dollars in saving to apply towards the purchase of a home.
The program is called “G-I Loans for Heroes”. The serviceperson would, however, have to have two mortgages. Â
The first mortgage will have a low interest for eighty percent of the purchase price. The second mortgage has an interest rate of zero for the remaining twenty percent of the purchase price up to $40,000. The serviceperson will also receive a grant of up to two thousand five hundred towards closing cost. In addition, the serviceperson would have to attend homeownership counseling.
To qualify you must be:
- an honorable discharged veteran
- currently in the armed services and a first time home buyer
- a first time home buyer in the reserve and currently on active duty
The serviceperson can purchase a single family home, condominium, or duplex.Â

I’m relieved to find out that there is actually some fantastic content to find on the internet. I’m so used to google delivering me junk.
