The Campbell County Fiscal Court and Newport Millennium Housing Corporation, an affiliate of the Housing Authority of Newport, are accepting applications for the Campbell County Homebuyer Assistance Program.

This program provides low to moderate income buyers the opportunity to purchase new construction, 3 and 4 bedroom homes with full basements, 1 1/2 baths, 9 foot ceilings and off street parking. These homes are priced at $123,000 to $128,000.

Buyers are given a $40,000 "soft second" mortgage which is forgiven at a rate of $5000 per year. The buyer is not responsible for payments on this mortgage and need only secure a first mortgage in the range of $90,000 to qualify for the purchase.

Applicants must have a favorable credit and rental history

Applicants must be able to secure a first mortgage from a private lender

Applicants may not now own a home

Applicants must successfully complete Homebuyer Education training
