Program Information
Midwest Community FCU works with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati to offer our qualifying members Welcome Home Fund grants. Welcome Home funds may be used to fund reasonable down payments and closing costs for low and moderate income homebuyers.
Homebuyers may qualify for and use amounts up to a maximum of $5,000 per home, based on documented need. However, honorably discharged veterans, active duty military, reservists, and surviving spouses of service personnel may receive Welcome Home grants up to $7,500.
Welcome Home funds typically become available in early spring and are available on a first-come, first-served basis, but only to the extent funds are available through the Federal Home Loan Bank. Funds are typically depleted by late spring. Our Real Estate Financial Representatives will be able to answer additional questions about qualifications and grant availability.
