More Assistance for First Time Homebuyers in Illinois

Illinois is offering 15-hundred homebuyers in the state 18-million-dollars in downpayment assistance.  The funding is through the newly created program by the Illinois Housing Development Authority.  The amount is a 52-percent increase in the number of people served by all other IHDA loan programs compared to April of last year.  This progress took place just nine weeks after the program was launched.
