Mortgage Credit Certificate Program


Have you dreamed of homeownership but thought that it was beyond your reach? The Housing Finance Authority of Broward County may help make your dream a reality through the Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) program. 
The MCC reduces the amount of federal income tax paid, giving more available income to qualify for a mortgage loan and assist with house payments. The MCC is not a mortgage but may be used in conjunction with the first mortgage from a qualified lender. Borrowers must be first-time home buyers and must qualify for a mortgage using standard credit requirements. Borrowers may also use any down-payment assistance and grant programs available through any source acceptable to the lender.
