Memphis

Memphis city DPA pays up to 10% of the price, max $25,000, with tracks for police, firefighters, MSCS staff, designated areas and MHA residents.

Nashville

Nashville buyers can use The Housing Fund's community land trust and shared equity programs on top of THDA and statewide down payment loans.

Chattanooga

Chattanooga's forgivable DPA gives first-time buyers up to $15,000, or $21,000 with THDA, for homes up to $400,000 inside city limits.

Knoxville

Knoxville's city DPA is closed except for homes built by three nonprofit developers. See who qualifies, income limits and the THDA backup.
