In general, there are many programs for first-time homebuyers that include reduced or no down payments and below market interest-rate loans. Rhode Island Housing is a key resource for information about these loans.

The first step in qualifying for many of these first-time homeowners programs is to take a Homeownership Class through Rhode Island Housing. View the schedule of places and times.

The Housing Network is another excellent resources for information about homeownership.
