1st Time Home Buyers Grant in and around Metro New Orleans.

Jefferson Parish

Due to an overwhelming response, the Jefferson Parish office of Community Development has closed their program. Jefferson Parish was allocated a large amount of funds for 1st time buyers, but all of the funds have now been utilized.  There is no timetable as to when they might receive more funds, it will be years, I would assume.  The process for JP to acquire funds for this program is daunting and does not get allocated easily.  If you are in the market for your first home, I would suggest looking at the other options below.

Orleans Parish

See here for eligibility, http://localhost/mbellrealty/up-to-65000-grant-to-buy-a-home-in-new-orleans-for-1st-time-home-buyers/

Plenty of funds are still available and you can receive up to 65,000 as a 1st time home buyer in Orleans parish, see link below for more info.

City of Kenner

See here for eligibility, http://localhost/mbellrealty/loan-info/incentive-grants/city-of-kenner-grant/

Kenner is still offering grant money to first time home buyers.  If you are looking in Kenner, and this will be your first purchase, you may want to see this link and determine if you are eligible.  You can receive up to 35,000 in Kenner funds.

As always Mirambell Realty looks forward to answering your questions about the classes needed to qualify for the funds and we can recommend lenders who are knowledgeable in working with the grant program.
