Chenoa Fund
Funded by the CBC Mortgage Agency, this program offers the ability to utilize an FHA-insured home loan by offering eligible applicants 3.5% of the purchase price to cover the down-payment. The assistance funds come in the form of a zero-interest second mortgage with a 30-year term. This second mortgage will be forgiven if the borrower makes 36 consecutive, on-time payments on the first mortgage.
