2020 Native American Homeownership Initiative

Down payment and closing cost assistance for qualifying first time homebuyers is now available.

Get Started

Since 1990, FHLB Des Moines has awarded $135 million in down payment and closing cost assistance to help more than 29,900 families with the purchase of a home.

Through our Native American Homeownership Initiative (NAHI), eligible households may receive up to $15,000 for down payment and closing cost assistance.

As of August 10, 2020, NAHI funds have been depleted.

Check back frequently as funds may become available as reservations are withdrawn. 

Additional funds will be added throughout the year based on the schedule below. The next funding date is on October 1, 2020.
