Nunavut Down payment Assistance Program
Nunavut Down payment Assistance Program (NDAP) assists clients in achieving home ownership through conventional financing means by providing financial assistance to ensure the clients have ten percent of the total house costs to contribute as a down payment.
A personal financial (mortgage equity) contribution by the client, when combined with NDAP, will ensure that clients meet the minimum down payment requirement of conventional mortgage lenders.
NDAP is offered as a forgivable 2nd mortgage over a 10 year period. There is no forgiveness in the first 5 years.
The NHC will provide on a one-time-only basis a contribution in the form of a forgivable loan to subsidize the cost of purchasing an existing home or constructing a new home. Exceptions to the one-time only basis may only be made with the approval of the Corporate Executive Committee.
Sliding Scale Funding
The NDAP contribution is based on 7.5 per cent of the total costs, to a maximum of $30,000. The client’s portion of the down payment must be a minimum of 2.5 per cent of the total costs.
The following table is provided to illustrate examples of NHC’s level of assistance and the clients’ personal financial contribution, based on total costs ranging from $50,000 to $400,000. The exact contributions are to be determined by calculating the percentages of the actual costs.
