Welcome Home: Own In Logan
The Welcome Home: Own in Logan program provides down payment/closing cost assistance of up to $7,500 for first-time home buyers in the city limits of Logan, Utah.
To date, over 200 families have been recipients of the Welcome Home grant.
HOW IT WORKS
$5,000 Base Grant
If you meet all eligibility criteria (see next section below), a $5,000 base grant is given for down payment and/or closing cost assistance. You must make at least a $500 down payment of your own funds – no gifts – to qualify. The subsidy is a soft second lien and must be paid back if you sell, obtain a second mortgage, refinance, or meet other conditions.
$2,500 Matching Grant
You can also receive a matching grant of up to $2,500 for any additional down payment funds you make. The matched grant portion is fully forgiven if you occupy the home for a 10-year period.
