Funds Available in Down
Payment Program
The Siletz Tribe Housing Finance Office in Salem has funds available for
down payment grants to first-time homebuyers. The process is relatively simple
and the time from application to funding can be very short for motivated buyers.
The program will grant up to 20 percent of the purchase price (maximum
$20,000) to be used as a down payment on a home purchase. The tribal member
is required to live in the home for five years, then the grant is forgiven.
The applicant’s total household income must be under 80 percent of median
income as determined by HUD; the limits imposed are adjusted by area. The
following are the income limits that apply in most areas:
