The Minnesota City Participation Program (MCPP) through Minnesota Housing can help you effectively and efficiently provide first-time home buyer loans in your community with minimal administrative burden and no administrative fees. By partnering with Minnesota Housing, eligible first-time buyers in your area will have access to our affordable Start Up loan program and down payment and closing cost loans up to $18,000. MCPP will connect you to approved lenders and help you market this opportunity to homebuyers.
How It Works
New applications are accepted January 2-15 each year. Participants can apply as city, county, or a multi-county. First-time homebuyers access the program through local, approved lenders. Minnesota Housing provides monthly updates on how many buyers in your community are being served by the program.
