Mass Dreams is Still Available - Through MHP - Massachusetts Housing Partnership

 

With the recent announcement that MassHousing will be suspending its MassDREAMS grant program as of November 30^th, we want to make clear that MassDREAMS is still available through MHP when paired with a ONE Mortgage. 

MassHousing and MHP have taken two very different approaches to the MassDREAMS program.  MHP realizes that MassDREAMS is a truly valuable and unprecedented resource and has always intended to operate a program that provides assistance to households in need.  We’ve created an infrastructure to ensure that prospective and eligible first-time homebuyers have a fair and equal opportunity to access the program.  Therefore, we anticipate MHP’s MassDREAMS program lasting well into 2023.

MHP’s website contains information about the program including a list of participating lenders - https://www.mhp.net/one-mortgage/massdreams

 

Our next workshop is December 10 & 11, 2022
