The Shared Equity Application Process
Am I qualified?
To receive a Shared Equity grant, applicants must have good credit and make no more than 120% of HUD area median income limits. For lower incomes, additional grants and low-interest loans may be available through the American Dream program and USDA Rural Development.
Applicants must also be able to obtain a mortgage from a traditional lender, as AHW does not have in-house financing. Usually, buyers combine the Shared Equity grant with a mortgage from a lending institution such as their local bank or credit union, USDA-Rural Development, or the Vermont Housing Finance Agency.
