Homebuyer Assistance Program
The Oakland County Treasurer’s Office, in partnership with Independent Bank, is proud to introduce the Home Buyer Assistance Program. This innovative initiative is designed to help low- to moderate-income individuals and families in Oakland County overcome financial barriers to homeownership.
Our partnership with Independent Bank, a Member FDIC and Equal Housing Lender, is more than just a collaboration; it’s a commitment to making homeownership accessible to everyone in our community. Homeownership is a cornerstone of economic stability and generational wealth, and we are dedicated to removing the obstacles that have historically stood in the way for many families and individuals.
This program is a public-private partnership with an initial $100,000 commitment to provide essential financial support to first-time homebuyers. Program subject to change or termination. Subject to funding availability on a first-come, first-served basis until funds are exhausted. Taxes and insurance required.
