Attention first time homebuyers in Lee’s Summit! The Lee’s Summit City Council approved funding for the First Time Homebuyer Program for the 2010-11 program year. The program is made possible by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) each year through the City’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. Grants of up to $3,000 are available for qualified, low-to-moderate income individuals and households, and can be used for down payment and closing cost assistance to purchase a home in Lee’s Summit.
Applicants must be pre-qualified by a participating lender, and funds are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Applications will be accepted by the City’s Planning & Development Department, located in Lee’s Summit City Hall at 220 SE Green St. in Lee’s Summit, starting July 1.
