New “SmartBuy” Programs Target New Homebuyers in Illinois and Maryland
The “SmartBuy” programs are geared towards attracting educated workers with student debt who want to buy homes, but are afraid their existing bills may hold them back. The programs work differently based on which state you decide to settle down in.
In Illinois, the program is run by the Illinois Housing Development Authority, and helps those with student debt in two ways. First, the program offers qualified buyers $5,000 in assistance, which can be used towards the down payment or closing costs.
