Homes for Iowans
Amount: Statewide Iowa mortgage backbone for first-time and repeat buyers, with a paired 2nd-loan down-payment and closing-cost option up to 5% of the home's sale price or appraised value, whichever is lower, with no stated maximum.
Repayment: The Homes for Iowans down-payment and closing-cost option is a 2nd loan up to 5% of the home's sale price or appraised value, whichever is lower. Repayment is due at the time of sale, refinance, or when the first mortgage is paid in full. No monthly payments are required and subordination is not permitted.
First-time buyer: Not required
Timing: After a purchase agreement, the participating lender reserves the Homes for Iowans loan in Lender Online; IFA reviews pre-close submissions in order received, and the reservation locks the rate for 60 days with closing required before expiration.

Sioux City MyPad Down Payment Assistance Program
Sioux City still presents MyPad as a live local assistance path, but the current buyer-facing page preserves conflicting 2024 and 2025 income and purchase-price tables, and the repayment or recapture structure is only inferable from broader HOME planning documents rather than one clean borrower packet.
