Comparison preview
Montgomery Employee Down Payment Assistance Loan (MEDPAL)
Amount: Current MMP materials say approved Montgomery County employees may use a $50,000 second mortgage through MEDPAL, but the still-posted MEDPAL fact sheet continues to show a $25,000 amount, so the public amount guidance is in source conflict.
Repayment: MEDPAL is structured as a 0% deferred second mortgage. Current MMP materials say repayment is triggered by sale, transfer, or refinance, and the current directive says the assistance is forgiven after 30 years if it is not repaid earlier.
First-time buyer: Varies
Timing: MEDPAL loans may be reserved by lenders until funds are expended; borrowers work through a loan officer, complete required homebuyer education, obtain County employment qualification, and the lender funds the DPA at closing with CDA reimbursement after post-closing approval.

Charles County House Keys 4 Employees
Charles County still markets House Keys 4 Employees as a simple 0% $5,000 employee loan, but the linked official flyer and current Maryland Mortgage Program materials point to a first-time-buyer, MMP-linked combined path up to $7,500 instead.
-
Howard County Settlement Downpayment Loan Program (SDLP)
Howard County still presents SDLP as a live program, but the county summary page conflicts with the adopted regulations and current packet on interest rates, forgiveness structure, and product-specific terms.
