State Program Helps Military Service Members and Veterans Make Iowa Their Forever Home

The State of Iowa recognizes and thanks all military service members and veterans for their service to the State of Iowa and our country. Their hard work, leadership and patriotism should be honored. The State of Iowa assists Iowa service members and veterans in creating their permanent home in Iowa through the Military Homeownership Assistance program. The program is jointly administered by the Iowa Finance Authority and the Iowa Department of Veterans Affairs and funding is appropriated by the Iowa Legislature.

            The Military Homeownership Assistance Program provides eligible service members with a $5,000 grant that may be used towards down payment and closing costs to purchase a home located in Iowa. When combined with the Iowa Finance Authority’s other down payment assistance programs, military members could receive a total of up to $7,500 in grant funds toward the purchase of a home. In fiscal year 2014, the program assisted 423 military service members and their families to fulfill their dream of homeownership.
