    MassHousing Updates: New $50,000 Grants for 2024

    Big news for first-time buyers! Governor Healey has expanded assistance programs. If you're looking in Somerville or Arlington, homeownership just became more accessible.

    What's New?

    • Expanded Grants: Eligible buyers can now receive up to $50,000 for down payment and closing cost assistance (up to 5% of the purchase price).
    • Income Limits: These have been adjusted for 2024 to reflect the higher cost of living in Greater Boston.
    • Reduced Rates: MassHousing is offering interest rate discounts of up to 0.55% for qualified middle-income households.

    The 'Catch'?

    You must be a first-time buyer and complete a state-approved homebuyer education course.
