FHLB Cincinnati’s Affordable Rate Program (ARP) is aimed at promoting housing affordability for low-income homebuyers through the Mortgage Purchase Program (MPP). The ARP offers up to 2 percent lower note rates on MPP loans to income-eligible borrowers, making homeownership more affordable.
Program details and requirements include:
• The ARP rate will be up to two percentage points below market rates. Contact our MPP department for current rates.
• Borrowers must have incomes at or below 80 percent of the FHFA Area Median Income.
• Properties must be for a primary residence. Second homes are ineligible.
• Both purchase and refinance transactions are eligible.
• Participation is limited to members that have received Participating Financial Institution (PFI) approval and have an open Master Commitment Contract through MPP.
• Subsidy is available on a first come, first served basis.
