The Cobb County Down Payment Assistance Mortgage Program (DPA) is a program that provides financial assistance to qualified homebuyers in Cobb County, Georgia. The program offers two types of assistance:

General DPA: This is a tax-free grant that can be used for a down payment or closing costs. The amount of the grant is based on the purchase price of the home and the borrower's income.
Additional DPA: This is a tax-free grant of $10,000 that is available to qualified Cobb County employees.

To be eligible for the DPA, borrowers must meet the following criteria:

Have a household income below 120% of the area median income

Make a down payment of at least 3% of the purchase price

The DPA can be a great way to make homeownership more affordable. If you are a qualified homebuyer in Cobb County, I encourage you to learn more about the DPA and apply for assistance.
