1st Home Allegheny Program

The 1st Home Allegheny Program has assisted eligible first-time homebuyers in purchasing homes in Allegheny County by providing loan assistance of $10,000 or $45,000, depending on household income. 

In 2025, Phase 1 of the program deployed $2.6 million, supporting 67 households in purchasing their first homes across municipalities throughout the county. In 2026, during the second phase, 45 households have been assisted as of October 30, with an additional 22 families expected to purchase homes through this program.

All funds for the 1st Home Allegheny program have been allocated, and applications are no longer being accepted.

There may be other programs that can provide assistance. Individuals are encouraged to contact their current lender, or a lender that works with the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency for information about available down payment assistance programs.
