IDA Program Down Payment Assistance Program If you aren’t ready to buy yet and this sounds like you, Siletz Saves! might be perfect: Does this sound like you? Are you ready to buy now? See below: I have a steady source of income (usually a job), or I have some credit issues I need to clean up. I don’t have enough income to make a mortgage payment. I don’t understand how everything works. I am still in school but getting close to finishing. I have been employed on a regular basis for the last 2-3 years. My current income is reliable. I have a good record of paying my bills. The IDA Program is a matched savings program. It helps low-income Tribal members understand their credit, correct credit issues and save toward the pur chase of a first home. Participants in the Siletz Saves! Program make regular deposits into a special savings account, called an individual development account or IDA. The amount saved then is matched $3 for every $1 saved - a 300 percent return! Participants are required to save for at least six months up to three years and attend financial fitness classes that teach them how and why they should save. I have few or no outstanding debts (like car payments). I have some money saved. I have the ability to pay a mortgage every month, plus additional costs. The Down Payment Assistance Program helps first-time homebuyers with their down payment and closing costs by offering a forgivable grant. Give me a I call to find out more about the Down Payment Assistance Program. Saving Money One of a family’s biggest expenses is food. Food prices are anticipated to go up this year. Are you prepared? Eating lunch out every day can take a bite out of your wallet. Top that off with dinners prepared outside the home and you have a major spending leak. Try to do one big grocery shopping trip per week and plan your meals in advance. See how it all adds up!
