Illinois launches $15K zero-interest second mortgage program for first-time homebuyers to ease down payment and closing costs.
Illinois has launched the Access Home program, offering up to $15,000 in zero-percent interest second mortgage assistance for first-time homebuyers to cover down payments and closing costs.
The aid, repayable only if the home is sold or refinanced, is available statewide through over 160 approved lenders and pairs with a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage.
Eligibility depends on credit score, income, and home price, with income limits varying by county—up to $137,885 in Cook County.
Applicants must complete homeownership counseling and contribute at least 1% of the purchase price or $1,000, whichever is higher.
The initiative, part of broader efforts to combat rising housing costs, is funded through reallocated resources and $50 million proposed for FY27.
