International DevelopmentGrant Program

Buying a home

First-time buyers, families, and property owners with a clear housing goal.

For people working toward a home purchase, covering closing costs, upgrading a property, or protecting the home they already have. Describe the property situation and how a one-time grant would support your goal. This is grant support for housing — not a bank mortgage product.

If you are selected, you do not repay the award. Applying does not guarantee funds. Write plainly. Completeness matters more than perfect wording.
