State’s Opening Doors program to offer home buyer assistance – WMBD (Peoria)

Opening Doors is designed, the governor’s office said, to help underserved populations and households of color when applying for a mortgage and buying a home. IHDA will provide a 30-year first mortgage with a competitive fixed interest rate and $6,000 to help with both down payment or closing costs.
