Comparison notes
What the sources say
These notes keep conflicting or conditional source language visible instead of flattening it into a fake clean answer.
Older brochure conflicts on property and price rules
Older official brochure materials still limit the path to detached homes outside Atlanta city limits and show a different purchase-price cap, which does not cleanly match the newer overview.
County webpage does not reconcile the conflict
The current county webpage does not present one clean, current, consumer-facing rule set that resolves the amount, property-type, and purchase-cap differences across the official documents.
Verification checklist
What to verify yourself
Use this checklist to confirm current status, scope, and eligibility directly at the official source.
- Confirm the current maximum assistance structure: base $5,000 only, or $8,000 for qualifying borrowers.
- Confirm whether the live program still limits purchases to detached homes outside Atlanta city limits.
- Confirm the current purchase-price cap and whether the newer or older county document governs underwriting.
- Confirm whether DeKalb County has posted a newer official webpage or guide that reconciles the current rule set.
