Which down payment programs work on a HUD home in Greeley
Greeley has the most HUD listings north of Denver and the lowest prices, which is where the whole stack turns a renter into an owner. Greeley sits in Weld County, which decides the CHFA income limit, the county program and whether metroDPA applies. HUD’s own $100 down and closing-cost help apply to every listing in the city that carries them. Here is the whole list, then the HUD homes for sale in Greeley right now.
| Program | What you get | Who | Stacks with |
|---|---|---|---|

| HUD closing-cost help | Up to 3% of the price, in the bid | Anyone; lowers HUD’s net | Everything |
| CHFA | Grant up to 3% or 0% second up to 4% (max $25,000) | Income under $153,600 (1 to 2 people) or $179,200 (3 or more) for FirstStep in Weld County; $178,920 statewide for SmartStep and Preferred; 620 score | FHA $100 down, HUD help; the grant also with metroDPA |

The local program for Greeley: G-HOPE, the Greeley Home Ownership Program for Employees
$2,500 to $8,000 depending on the zone you buy in (up to $8,000 east of 8th Avenue, up to $6,000 between 8th and 14th), for full-time employees of employers based in the program area. Run by the City of Greeley.
Teachers and school employees in Greeley
Colorado’s Schools To Home program pays full-time public school employees up to 25% of the first mortgage on a conventional loan, and it works on insured HUD homes in Greeley. The districts that serve Greeley:
- Greeley-Evans School District 6. The Schools To Home page for this district on kennarealestate.com.
Two things to know before you bid: the program needs a Fannie Mae conventional loan, so it does not combine with the FHA $100 down, and if the listing is a Good Neighbor Next Door lottery home, 50% off beats 25% assistance. The teacher page runs the comparison; Good Neighbor Next Door in Colorado covers the lottery.
The stack on a Greeley HUD home
- FHA with HUD’s $100 down on an IN or IE listing that carries the flag. Down payment: $100.
- metroDPA (6%) or a CHFA grant (3%) covers closing costs and prepaids, roughly 2% to 3% of the price.
- G-HOPE, the Greeley Home Ownership Program for Employees on top, when a round is open and you qualify.
- HUD closing-cost help on a listing that has sat; on a new one, bid a little higher and keep it.
Cash to close on a $300,000 Greeley HUD home built this way: the $1,000 earnest money, and sometimes nothing else. On a listing without the $100 down flag, add the 3.5% FHA down payment minus whatever the assistance covers.
What Greeley buyers miss
- They do not know the county line. Weld County: the address decides the CHFA limit and the local program.
- They pre-approve for 3.5% down with a lender who has never used the $100 down.
- They wait for the perfect listing. Greeley HUD homes stay two weeks. The stack has to be ready before the house appears.
- Teachers bid FHA and lose the 25% program, or vice versa, because nobody ran both.
Questions Greeley buyers ask
Can I use down payment assistance on a HUD home in Greeley?
Yes. CHFA statewide, metroDPA (Greeley participates), G-HOPE, and the Schools To Home teacher program all work on a HUD home in Greeley, as long as the program allows the loan type the listing code requires. HUD adds the $100 down and up to 3% closing-cost help on top.

What loan works for a HUD home in Greeley?
It depends on the listing code. IN (Insured) takes a standard FHA loan with 3.5% down, or VA, conventional or cash. IE (Insured with Escrow) adds a repair escrow. UI (Uninsured) needs an FHA 203(k) rehab loan, a conventional renovation loan, or cash. Owner-occupants using FHA can often use the $100 down program.
