Target Area Program with OHFA

Target Area Loan Program

OHFA’s Target Area Loan Program helps revitalize federally-designated target areas by making our affordable first-time homebuyer loan products and competitive interest rates available to ANY qualifying buyer purchasing a home in these areas.
What is a Target Area?
A target area is an economically distressed area designated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Most Ohio counties contain both target and non-target areas. For more information, download a list of target areas from our download center.
Do I Qualify?
Target Area Loan applicants do not have to be first-time buyers. However, the following program requirements apply.
To qualify for an OHFA Target Area Loan, you must:
Meet OHFA’s income and sales price limits. Please note that income and sales price limits may be higher for Target Area Loans.
Be creditworthy. Minimum credit scores may apply.
Have a signed Purchase and Sales Agreement.
Qualify for the loan being requested. Lenders will assess your ability to afford a home by considering income, assets, job stability, liabilities, and other criteria.
