Original source record: October 5, 2026. Source review: October 17, 2026. Source guidance recorded on 2026-10-05. Confirm current program definitions, targeted-area status, and documentation with a participating lender. Other requirements include a 640 minimum middle credit score, income and purchase-price limits, limited liquid assets, and no other real estate at closing for the targeted-area pathway. No claim that an Emory-area address is a targeted area. Follow the linked primary sources for current eligibility, availability and terms; no individual or property-specific determination is made.

DCA states eligibility can include first-time buyers, buyers without primary-home ownership in the prior three years, or buyers in targeted areas, subject to other rules.
