About this grant
What it is, and why most people miss it.
Up to $100K forgivable DPA for NYC first-time buyers — one of the largest city programs in the US.
Grant programs change quarterly. Funding windows open and close. Eligibility shifts. Most buyers never hear they exist — that's the problem PocketGrants solves. We track every active federal, state, county, and city program so you can claim what's yours.
A PocketGrants grant specialist helps you actually file this one. They confirm your eligibility, gather what you need, and walk you through the official application step-by-step. Free.
