How it works
You Can Get A Home
Maryland's DPA programs were built for first-time buyers — including buyers who think they don't qualify.
How Much Can You Get?
Stack MMP with county-level programs and most buyers see $10,000–$15,000 in combined down payment help.
Where's The Money?
Funds come from the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development and partner counties — not from Ami.
