Watch This First
This short video explains what you should do next, whether you are just getting started or already moving through the homebuying process.
STEP 1
Complete Your Philly First Homebuyer Orientation
If you are purchasing a home in Philadelphia, you may be eligible for the Philly First down payment assistance program. The program can provide up to $10,000 toward an eligible home purchase.
The first step is completing an approved homebuyer orientation. Choose the option below that best fits your situation.
Program funding, eligibility requirements, income limits, and availability may change. Final eligibility is determined by the program administrator, housing counseling agency, and lender.

Urban League typically offers earlier available orientation dates. This is usually the better option when you want to move quickly or your income is above the NeighborhoodLIFT income limit.
