Assistance for first-time homebuyers
The Northfield Housing & Redevelopment Authority (HRA) is excited to provide first-time homebuyers with the opportunity to receive assistance towards a down payment or closing costs. We provide up to $25,000 in a zero interest, deferred loan that is payable when the homeowner sells or refinances the first mortgage.
