The Arlington Homebuyers’ Assistance Program (AHAP) provides down payment and closing cost assistance to low income, first time homebuyers. Assistance is provided in the form of a $7,500 forgivable loan for down payment and closing cost assistance. For properties located in a revitalization area (NRSA map), $10,000 in assistance is available. $10,000 is also available to households with a disabled family member. The loan is 0% interest and is payable only if you sell, convey, refinance, or pay off the first lien on your home.
