The North Carolina Housing Finance Agency helps make home ownership affordable for eligible home buyers in North Carolina - whether buying for the first time or moving up - with competitive financing and forgivable down payment assistance. If you are a first-time home buyer, you may also be eligible for a Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC).
In addition, persons who buy homes in certain targeted census tracts may be eligible for the MCC program, even if they are not first-time home buyers.
Eligible borrowers apply for the NC Home Advantage Mortgage™ and MCC programs through our Participating Lenders and must meet the requirements of the individual loan type - Conventional, FHA, VA, or USDA - in addition to N.C. Housing Finance Agency guidelines.
