American Dream Downpayment Initiative (ADDI)
Program Contacts in Georgia
Funds made available under the ADDI statute have been allocated to State and local governments to assist families with incomes below 80 percent of the median income for their area and are first-time homebuyers.
The ADDI funds may be used to pay part of the up-front costs of purchasing a principal residence, and the reasonable and necessary costs incurred by the homebuyer, locality, or lender associated with the purchase. In addition, a limited percentage of the funds may be used for property rehabilitation.
To receive assistance under the ADDI, you should contact either the State or local government that is administering the program.
