The North Mankato City Council recently allocated funding to provide matching grants up to $2,500 per household for income-qualified first-time homebuyers in North Mankato. These funds are designated for down payment assistance and must be matched by homebuyers. For example, if an income-qualified homebuyer contributes $2,500 for their down payment, the City provides a grant in the amount of $2,500. The grant funds will be available on a first-come first-serve basis.

Additionally, the City has received $25,000 from the Grater Minnesota Housing Fund (GMHF) to provide additional down payment assistance grants for first-time homebuyers in North Mankato. GMHF will contribute up to $2,500 to income qualified first-time homebuyers who buy an existing home or build a home in North Mankato. However, to qualify for GMHF funds, the first-time homebuyer must have at least one dependent child.
