Two Kansas counties are offering first-time home buyers a big discount in a new pilot program. The North Central Regional Planning Commission (NCRPC) announced on its website that Clay and Marshall Counties will be taking part in a new home ownership pilot program. This is expected to launch on May 13, 2024. The program is available due to a partnership between the NCPRC and Four Rivers Housing Opportunities. The local community organization Grow Clay County said in a recent social media post that the program will offer home buyers up to $12,500 in down payment and closing cost assistance. Other incentives of the program include a combination of a fixed rate 3% down payment assistance loan of $10,000 and a closing cost grant of $2,500 when buying a home with a value of $50,000 or more in Clay or Marshall Counties. “Home ownership can be a tough goal to achieve,” said Keegan Bailey, NCRPC Housing Director. “We hope the Clay County Home Ownership Program can be a tool to help make home buying a reality for individuals and families.”
