Who qualifies?
Mississippi homebuyers using an MHC participating lender, First-time homebuyers under the standard prior-three-years rule, Target-area buyers and veterans who can use the official first-time-buyer exception
What support do you get?
$10,000 second-mortgage assistance for down payment, closing costs, and pre-paids when paired with the statewide Trusty10 first mortgage.
Do you repay it?
Trusty10 uses a 30-year fixed first mortgage plus a $10,000 second mortgage at 2% interest for 15 years. Mississippi Home Corporation describes the assistance as principal and interest payable over 15 years, so borrowers should treat it as a repayable second mortgage rather than a forgivable grant.
How do you apply?
Work through an MHC participating lender, confirm county income and purchase-price limits, complete homebuyer education, and reserve the Trusty10 file through the lender after prequalification.
