**The Greensboro Affordable Home Loan Initiative (GAHLI) is no longer accepting new clients. We are sorry we will not be able to assist you. We suggest that you contact local lending institutions to ask about their first-time homebuyer programs. Some of the lending institutions may be able to offer help with down payments and/or closing costs (NCHFA, FHLB funds).

About GAHLI: The Greensboro Affordable Home Loan Initiative is a program that provides homebuyer counseling, education, and financial assistance to low and moderate income first-time Greensboro homebuyers. Funding is provided from Greensboro’s tax rate, which is dedicated annually to housing activities. GAHLI is administered by the Greensboro Housing Counseling Service (GHCS). GHCS’ goal is to serve approximately 40 households annually with home purchase support. Applicants are taken through a three-step home buying process. 

Step 1: Counseling
Step 2: Homebuyer Education
Step 3: Financial Assistance
