BELLEVUE, OH (February 20, 2025) |
Firelands Federal Credit Union (Firelands FCU), in cooperation with The Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati (FHLB Cincinnati), is pleased to announce the return of the Welcome Home Program (WHP).
The WHP offers grants to fund reasonable down payment and closing costs for low- and moderate
income homebuyers. In 2024, a total of 22 Firelands FCU members received $425,000 in grant funds to assist them in securing mortgages.
This year, eligible homebuyers can receive up to $20,000 to bring them closer to homeownership.
WHP funds will be available for reservation beginning at 8:00 AM ET on March 3, 2025, and will remain open until all funds have been reserved. Reservations may not be submitted in advance. Funds are
offered on a "first-come, first-served" basis.
“For many, buying a home can feel out of reach, but the Welcome Home program helps bridge that gap. We’re grateful to be part of a program that truly makes a difference in our community.” said Angela Grimmer, Firelands FCU’s VP of Mortgage Lending.
Details and other WHP requirements are identified online at www.firelandsfcu.org
