Aloha ,
First Time Homebuyer Opportunity Program -- Help Is Here!
Aloha!
While the recent wildfires don't make matters any easier, buying your first home on the island of Maui probably sounds daunting. But rest assured, you will not have to tackle it on your own! The First Time Homebuyer Opportunity Program will assist those who qualify with a subsidized payment for the home buying closing costs, down payment, reduction of mortgage interest, and even a mortgage principal reduction.
Making the dream of homeownership a reality has been a challenge for many, but this program offers significant support—with Maui County providing up to $600,000 in direct assistance toward the purchase of a home. This makes owning a home in the community more achievable and secure, even as affordability and long-term stability remain ongoing challenges.
Do you think you qualify for this program? You might if you have not owned a home in the last three years, you live in Maui County, and you fall in the income brackets.

Your journey of homeownership begins with this program so do not wait and read the rest of the terms, the application, and other information on the website to better understand how this program operates.
