Van to Vault DPA Survey: Down Payment Assistance in 83 U.S. Metros (2026)

Listed in figshare and Loughborough Research Repository — shown once because both records carry DOI 10.6084/m9.figshare.33858652.v2

<p dir="ltr">A hand-checked survey of down payment assistance (DPA) availability across 83 U.S. metro areas, compiled 2026, focused on programs an owner-occupant can use on a 2–4 unit home (house hacking).

Description

For each metro: program name, maximum assistance amount, source URL, as-of date, and a status field separating "program_found" (73 metros) from "none_found" (7) and "unconfirmed" (3), so a checked-but-empty metro is never confused with an unchecked one.

Several agencies confirmed or corrected entries in writing during compilation. A state-by-state companion (which statewide programs allow a 2–4 unit purchase) is linked from the documentation page: <a href="vantovault.com/library/down-payment-assistance-duplex/" target="_blank">vantovault.com/library/down-payment-assistance-duplex/</a>. Companion dataset: Van to Vault Foothold (<a href="doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.22019646" target="_blank">10.5281/zenodo.22019646</a>), same metro set.
