How to Apply

Step 1: Check your eligibility. The OK/CN Counties HOME program requires household income at or below 80% of HUD area median income (AMI) and first-time buyer status. OHFA programs require a 640 minimum credit score.

Step 2: Complete a HUD-approved homebuyer education course. NHS Oklahoma at (405) 231-4663 is a HUD Certified Homeownership Center serving central Oklahoma. The Community Action Agency of OKC also offers HUD-approved workshops.

Step 3: Contact the Community Action Agency of Oklahoma City at (405) 232-0199 to apply for the OK/CN Counties HOME DPA program. Plan for the 1% to 1.75% buyer contribution requirement.

Step 4: Get pre-approved with an OHFA-approved or REI-approved lender. They can pair the County DPA with OHFA Dream or REI Gift100 on top of a 30-year fixed first mortgage.

Step 5: Find a home in Yukon within program purchase price limits. The OK/CN Counties HOME program caps purchase prices at $157,000 for existing homes or $238,000 for new construction in Canadian County.

Step 6: Submit your full application package and complete loan counseling.

Step 7: Close on your home and remain owner-occupant for the full 7 years for the OK/CN Counties HOME DPA to be fully forgiven without prorated repayment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much down payment assistance can I get in Yukon?+
Eligible first-time buyers can stack the OK/CN Counties HOME DPA (up to $14,249) with OHFA Dream (3.5% grant) or REI Gift100 (3.5% to 5% gift). Combined assistance can reach $20,000 or more. Educators and first responders also receive reduced interest rates through OHFA 4Teachers and SHIELD.
What is the OK/CN Counties HOME program?+
It is a HUD HOME-funded down payment assistance program administered by the Community Action Agency of Oklahoma City. It serves Canadian County (including Yukon) and parts of Oklahoma County outside cities that run their own HOME-funded DPA programs. The program provides up to $14,249 as a forgivable second mortgage with 7-year owner-occupancy.
What is the maximum home price?+
The OK/CN Counties HOME program caps purchase prices at $157,000 for existing homes and $238,000 for new construction in Canadian County. With Yukon's 2026 median near $262,400, some existing homes may exceed the existing-home cap, in which case buyers can pivot to OHFA programs (which allow purchases up to $356,362 on the Government track).
Do I have to be a first-time homebuyer?+
The OK/CN Counties HOME program requires first-time buyer status (no primary residence in the past 3 years). Most OHFA programs and REI Gift100 do not require first-time buyer status.
What homebuyer education is required?+
The OK/CN Counties HOME program and OHFA programs both require HUD-approved homebuyer education. NHS Oklahoma at (405) 231-4663 and the Community Action Agency of OKC at (405) 232-0199 are common providers with online and in-person options.
How long do I have to live in the home?+
The OK/CN Counties HOME DPA fully forgives after 7 years of owner-occupancy. If you sell, refinance into a non-qualifying loan, or stop using the home as your primary residence before 7 years, you may have to repay a prorated portion. OHFA Dream and REI Gift100 have no occupancy or recapture requirements.
