The REALTOR® Foundation: Rhode Island and RIHousing understand the importance of homeownership in supporting families, communities, and our economy. That’s why this year we’ve partnered to offer up to 50 grants to help with down payment and closing cost assistance for eligible homebuyers, opening the door to homeownership for more Rhode Islanders.
$1,000 for eligible first-time homebuyers
or
$2,000 for eligible first-time homebuyers who are also veterans or active military personnel.
