Fulton Homeownership Program

The Fulton Homeownership Program (HOP) provides down payment and closing cost assistance to income-eligible homebuyers who have the capacity to purchase a home but lack the money needed for a down-payment and loan closing costs.  We offer assistance up to $10,000 as a deferred payment loan with 0% interest to qualified homebuyers who occupy the home as their principal residence for a period of at least six years. (LEARN MORE)
