Pair your FHA loan with Utah Housing down payment assistance

The Utah Housing Corporation (UHC) offers a second mortgage that covers your 3.5% FHA down payment and some closing costs. As a UHC-approved lender, we apply for both loans simultaneously — one process, one closing.

Income limits and purchase price caps apply, but most first-time buyers across the Wasatch Front and Utah Valley qualify. This combination is one of the most accessible paths to homeownership in Utah.
