HOMEBUYER PROGRAM DO YOU DREAM OF OWNING YOUR OWN HOME? HOMEBUYER BROCHURE Established in 1993, the Appleton Housing Authority’s Homebuyer Program has helped more than 500 households reach their dream of owning a home. By utilizing available funding from federal, state and local sources, qualified applicants can receive assistance for down payment and needed repairs or upgrades to homes they buy. This assistance is given as 0% interest deferred payment loans. These loans do not collect interest and the home owner does not make payments to the Housing Authority as long as they live in their house. WHICH HOUSES ARE AVAILABLE? Clients are free to purchase any house that is located in Outagamie or Calumet County. The price of a home must be in the client’s calculated price range and cannot exceed limits set for the amount of repairs that are needed to a home. All homes are inspected before purchase to make sure they meet HUD housing quality standards. If repairs or upgrades are needed, assistance is available to see that each house is made a safe and decent place to live. WHO IS ELIGIBLE? Households must be below 80% of the County Median Income to qualify. These income limits are adjusted for the number of people that live in the household. The Appleton Housing Authority is required to verify all sources of income for the household. To apply for the program, you must undergo income eligibility verification, submit an application and sign required documentation.

Each applicant is required to complete a series of homebuyer education and counseling. Click on the link below (in red) for information. The program is conducted in accordance with Fair Housing Laws.
