Got questions? Here are the answers to some common questions about Down Payment Assistance.
Club 720 can connect you with approved lenders through our platform.
Yes, DPA funds can be applied to closing costs, including real estate agent commissions.
You may need to repay the balance of the forgivable loan, minus the portion already forgiven.
No, the program is open to both first-time and repeat homebuyers.
Borrowers must meet minimum credit score and income requirements, which vary by community. The Cook County Down Payment Assistance Program uses the Club 720® mobile app to provide borrowers with almost instant results on initial eligibility. This is by no means an approval, but it does mean you’ll soon be connected with a participating, trusted lender partner.
No worries! We are always adding programs and products that vary in credit score requirements. If the Cook County Down Payment Assistance Program won’t be a good fit for you at this time, you will be presented with other programs that you’re eligible for on Club 720, including our Accountability Coaching Program, which is designed to prepare you to purchase a home through this program. We also encourage you to take advantage of all that Club 720 has to offer: free credit building courses, money management training, coaching and more to help prepare you for your home buying goals. Remember, it might be a “not now”, but it’s never a “no.” You can do this!
