With a total of $500,000 available, BayCoast Mortgage proudly provided down payment assistance of up to $17,500 on a matching basis for eligible first-time homebuyers in Rhode Island and up to a $10,000 down payment match for qualifying borrowers in Massachusetts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A total of 42 borrowers &#8211; 21 in Massachusetts and 21 in Rhode Island &#8211; realized their goal of homeownership through the DPA program. Breaking down the statistics by county, the largest number of DPA grants went to eligible borrowers in Bristol County, Massachusetts, with 21, which included Fall River, New Bedford, Taunton, Fairhaven, Acushnet, Lakeville, and South Dartmouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Providence County was at the top of the list for Rhode Island, with 12 DPA grants being provided to qualified borrowers in Providence, North Providence, East Providence, Riverside, Tiverton, Newport, Cranston, Warwick, West Warwick, Cumberland, Pawtucket, Richmond, and South Kingstown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAt BayCoast Mortgage, we recognize the financial challenges many first-time homebuyers face,\u201d said Daniel J. Briand, President and CEO of BayCoast Mortgage. \u201cSaving for a down payment on a home can take years. Our Down Payment Assistance Program was the key to opening more doors, especially for those at low-to-moderate income levels, who may have thought homeownership simply wasn\u2019t possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To qualify for the Down Payment Assistance Program, borrowers were required to meet income and purchase limits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Down Payment Assistance Program offered by BayCoast Mortgage was lifechanging,\u201d said Evelyn Ranone, First Vice President, CRA Officer for BayCoast Bank. \u201cBuying your first home can be a very emotional experience. It is gratifying to know we truly helped members of our community achieve the American Dream by making homeownership more affordable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BayCoast Mortgage is announcing even more exciting news!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It has earmarked another $500,000 in down payment assistance for their local community and the funds are available to eligible borrowers starting today.
