We would like to announce expanded eligibility for its First Time Homebuyer Grant Program, increasing income limits to make the program accessible to more prospective buyers across the region.
The updated income thresholds are designed to better reflect today’s housing market realities and rising costs of living, allowing more working individuals and families to qualify for assistance. The program provides financial support to eligible homebuyers to help reduce upfront barriers to homeownership.
“Our goal is to meet buyers where they are today,” said Michelle Gerhard, Chief Operating Officer of SRAR. “By increasing the income limits, we are opening the door to more responsible, ready buyers who were previously just outside eligibility but still face real affordability challenges.”
The grant program supports first-time and qualifying homebuyers by helping offset homeownership-related costs, while also reinforcing SRAR’s ongoing commitment to housing opportunity, community stability, and sustainable homeownership.
Full eligibility requirements, income limits, application details, and deadlines are available at: www.srar.com/grants
