Down Payment Resource helps lenders be a down payment hero to more homebuyers.
Connect buyers to the down payment help they need to buy a home.
Saving for down payment and closing costs is consistently cited as the number one issue. Yet, only 23% of buyers are even familiar with down payment programs that can help. New data from the Urban Institute found there are about 21 million mortgage-ready renters under 40 in the 31 largest U.S. cities.
Down Payment Resource helps lenders improve the use of homeownership programs to bring more entry-level buyers to market. Our solutions are designed to help you save time sourcing and matching borrowers to funds, reach your CRA/LMI goals, and improve your pull-through rate.

Barriers to Accessing Homeownership Report
Down Payment Resource and Freddie Mac commissioned the second Barriers to Accessing Homeownership Down Payment, Credit, and Affordability report by the Urban Institute’s Housing Finance Policy Center.
This paper provides data and commentary on three significant barriers to homeownership: saving for a down payment, accessing mortgage credit and housing affordability. The report also offers information about down payment assistance programs which can help borrowers overcome the first barrier to homeownership and data on the 21 million mortgage-ready millennials in 31 large metropolitan areas.
