How much house can I afford in Kansas? →Kansas's statewide Housing Finance Agency down payment/closing cost assistance program: a 0%-interest forgivable second mortgage of 15% (household income 51-80% of area median income) or 20% (income at or below 50% AMI) of the purchase price, fully forgiven if the buyer remains in the home 10 years (prorated repayment owed if sold/refinanced sooner). Layered on top of a first mortgage from a participating private lender — KHRC does not originate the first mortgage itself.
