Most down payment assistance lists tell you a program exists. This one answers the question a house hacker actually has: can I use it on a two-to-four-unit building I will live in? Type a metro or a state code.

How to read a result
- Program found means at least one program in that metro allows a two-to-four-unit owner-occupied purchase, per the program’s own document on the date shown.
- None found means no program usable on a two-to-four-unit owner-occupied purchase turned up in the check.
- Not confirmed means the documents did not settle the question either way.
Program rules, amounts and funding change. Confirm with the program or a participating lender before you count on it. This is not financial advice.
