FHLB Cincinnati has partnered with Homeport to launch the Rise Up Program (RUP). This pilot program offers grants of $25,000 for down payment, closing cost, and principal reduction assistance for first-generation homebuyers who are looking to purchase their first home in Franklin County, OH. Rise Up funds will be available on a first-come, first served basis beginning on May 28, 2024.
The Rise Up Program is now closed and no longer accepting applications. Due to the success of the program, all available funds have been used.
Thank you for your participation. We will provide notice if/when the Rise Up Program will re-open to accept applications.
