DC Open Doors

DCHFA’s DC Open Doors program is built around a Down Payment Assistance Loan (DPAL) that does not have to be paid back. This is essentially “free money” – the Down Payment Loan’s balance due reduces by 20% each year for a term of 5 years, ending in a zero balance due.  DC Open Doors is a true zero down program for Washington, D.C. that cuts your out-of-pocket costs on a home or condo purchase to just closing costs and other processing fees.
