TCBTX First-Time Homebuyer Grant Assistance

Buying your first home is a big step—and we’re here to help make it more affordable. Our Grant Assistance Program provides financial support to qualified homebuyers, helping reduce upfront costs and make homeownership more accessible.

Program Overview

The Grant Assistance Program offers eligible borrowers grant funds that can be used to cover 2% of your down payment- up to $7,000 (while funds last). This is a true grant, meaning no repayment is required when program guidelines are met.
