Introducing the Homebuyer Dream Program!

The Homebuyer Dream ProgramTM (HDP) is a a new
first-time homeowner grant program coming in mid-2019.

The evolution of this more modernized first-time homebuyer set-aside program is intended to broaden its reach across the district, deepen its impact on households buying their first home and significantly improve administrative efficiencies.

FHLBNY is committed to working with our members to facilitate a smooth transition from the First Home Clubsm to the new program. The modernized program features include:

  • Flexibility on the administration of your program
  • Increased grant amounts
  • Equity contribution without systematic savings
  • Online reservation requests

Over the next few months, the FHLBNY will conduct several training seminars across our district. The training seminars will provide a review of the program criteria, an in-depth technical training on how to successfully submit household requests through the FHLBNY’s Secure File Transfer Portal, and an opportunity to provide answers to any questions you may have.

We strongly encourage you to attend one of the upcoming training seminars to learn more about the Homebuyer Dream ProgramTM.
