Comparison preview
LHC MRB Home Program
Amount: Current official HOME/MRB guidelines show grant assistance equal to 5% to 9% of the final loan amount for closing costs and required prepaid items, with a HOME affordability period rather than a soft-second repayment schedule.
Repayment: MRB Home uses grant assistance rather than a soft second mortgage, but the buyer still signs a HOME regulatory agreement tied to the grant amount. Current guidelines impose a 5-year affordability period for assistance up to $15,000, 10 years for more than $15,000 up to $40,000, and 15 years above $40,000. During that period the property must remain the buyer's principal residence, and sale or refinance requires Louisiana Housing approval.
First-time buyer: Required
Timing: After a signed purchase agreement, an LHC-approved lender reserves HOME/MRB funds first-come, first-served; compliance approval is required before closing, HQS/environmental review can take up to 2 weeks, wire-request documents are due 36 hours before closing, and the loan is due for purchase within 60 days unless extended.

Lafayette Parish First-Time Homebuyer Program
Lafayette still shows a live first-time homebuyer path, but current public materials conflict between an older $11,000 2% second-mortgage brochure and newer 2026 hearing materials that now describe a $20,000 forgivable deferred-payment loan without publishing the current forgiveness schedule or buyer packet.

City of Lake Charles employee Keys for Service partnership
Lake Charles announced a city employee partnership layered on top of Louisiana Housing Corporation Keys for Service, but the city council authorization was later deferred and no live city application path was found. The statewide LHC base program remains live, but the city-only layer is not yet cleanly verified as active.
