WELCOME TO THE CITY OF LEWISVILLE HOMEBUYER ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (HAP)!
The purchase of your first home is one of the greatest investments made by individuals and families. Knowing that many people need help getting into that first home, the City of Lewisville created the First Time Homebuyer Assistance Program (FHAP) to support affordable homeownership by providing down payment, closing cost and principal reduction assistance for low to moderate-income first time homebuyers. The program is funded through an annual entitlement grant called Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Good luck and thank you for your interest in the City of Lewisville’s First Time Homebuyer Assistance Program!
