Program Summary

The Maine American Dream Initiative (MADI) helps low-income homebuyers with their down payments, closing costs, repairs, or other financing to fill the gap between what they can afford and the purchase prices of their homes.

Eligible homebuyers may receive up to $10,000 in the form of a five-year deferred, forgivable mortgage loan. Loans are interest-free and there are no monthly payments when loan terms are met.
