Buying a home is a significant investment, and for many buyers, financial assistance programs can make homeownership more accessible. In Houston and across Texas, there are numerous state and local programs designed to help first-time buyers, low- to moderate-income households, and other qualified applicants secure affordable housing. These programs offer benefits such as down payment assistance, low-interest loans, and tax credits to help make homeownership more attainable. At C&T Mortgage, we specialize in guiding homebuyers through the available options, ensuring you find the best program to fit your needs.
