Buying a Home Has Never Been Easier for Illinois’ Veterans

Posted By admin on April 16, 2009

Thank you for revisiting you can still subscribe to my RSS feed. As Always Thank You for visiting!

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.  

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. 

For further information contact the Illinois Housing Department Authority at http:www.ihda.org or call them toll free at 800 942 8439 or 312 836 5244.
