How do you apply?

Application timing

An approved lender submits the application, and the City allows up to 15 business days from a complete lender submission to program approval.

Official source evidence

The current Greensboro Homebuyer Assistance page says all three offerings require a first-time buyer or a buyer who has not owned within the last three years, a primary residence within Greensboro city limits, and an approved lender. The same page then breaks the program into a base track, a Public Service Heroes track, and a #100Homes track with different income bands and bonus amounts.
