🏡 Changes are coming to IFA’s down payment assistance options.

Beginning November 2, 2026, new loan reservations will have two second mortgage assistance options:
🔑 NEW: 3% Second Mortgage — up to 3% of the purchase price, up to $10,000
🔑 UPDATED: 5% Second Mortgage — up to 5% of the purchase price, up to $15,000

Both options can be used toward eligible down payment and closing costs, with no monthly payments required. The Plus grant will also be discontinued for new reservations beginning November 2.

Whether you're preparing to buy your first home or helping an Iowan get there, make sure you know what’s changing.

Iowa Housing Partnership is spending the day in Des Moines at the Iowa Finance Authority’s HousingIowa Conference!

With housing organizations and professionals from across Iowa gathered in one place, the conference is a great opportunity to exchange ideas, learn about emerging approaches, and have important conversations about the challenges facing communities throughout our state.

IHP is especially glad to connect with members, partners, and colleagues working across the housing field and bring new ideas and perspectives back to our statewide work. Collaboration like this helps strengthen Iowa’s housing network and moves us toward solutions that work for communities of all sizes.

We’re proud to highlight CHI’s partnership with the Iowa Housing Partnership, led by founding board member Dan Garrett.

Together, we’re strengthening the voice of affordable housing across Iowa and helping unlock real progress from expanded Workforce Housing credits to increased Housing Trust Fund support and millions invested in new and rehabilitated homes.

It’s a powerful example of what happens when collaboration turns into action.
