Who is eligible for a MassHousing Mortgage?

MassHousing loans help households with modest incomes buy a home in Massachusetts.

• Borrowers must meet income limits and purchase a single-family home, condo or 2-4 family property 
• Many of our programs are for first-time homebuyers, but we have several programs if you’ve previously owned a home. 
• Credit and other eligibility requirements also apply.
