LHC HOME MRB Program

5-9% DPA — among the highest percentages nationally

5-9% of loan amount for down payment and closing costs depending on loan size. Statewide.

LHC's Mortgage Revenue Bond program provides below-market first mortgage rates for qualifying Louisiana buyers. The rate reduction, which can be 0.5-1% below market, saves thousands annually and tens of thousands over the life of a 30-year mortgage.

The program pairs with LHC's DPA assistance and is available to first-time buyers meeting income limits. Louisiana's unique housing market — including challenges from hurricane risk and flood insurance costs — makes below-market rates especially valuable for buyers managing total housing expenses.
