View Lender Approval Process
The WE DeKalb program provides those interested in buying a home in DeKalb County, Georgia, with a non-repayable down payment assistance (DPA) grant equal to 1 percent, 2 percent, or 3 percent* of their mortgage’s initial principal balance. WE DeKalb’s qualified borrowers may be eligible for VA, FHA, or Freddie Mac HFA® Advantage conventional loan at a competitive 30-year, fixed-rate first mortgage loan. The DPA grant will be 1 percent, 2 percent, or 3 percent of the total loan amount, depending on which mortgage rate is selected of the available mortgage rate options. Borrowers do not need to be first-time homebuyers, and there is no time requirement that they must live in the home. However, the home must be their principal residence.
To participate in the program, complete and submit the Lender Agreement and the signed Lender Contact Information document to U.S. Bank via email. Originals are not needed and there is no cost to participate. Participating lenders must also become an approved lender with US Bank. If your company is a correspondent lender with US Bank, the approval process should be quick. Lenders must be a mortgage bank and be a VA, FHA, or Freddie Mac HFA® Advantage conventional approved mortgage.
To check on your current status with the US Bank Housing Finance Agency, or to become an approved lender, please contact US Bank at 800 562 5165 or [email protected] for assistance.
