Pima Tucson Lighthouse 3.0: Your Path to Homeownership

Every individual holds a dream close to their heart—a dream of a place to call their own, a sanctuary, a home. The journey to homeownership, at times, can feel like navigating uncharted waters. That's precisely where Pima Tucson Lighthouse 3.0 steps in—a guiding light, simplifying the complex process and making the dream of owning a home a reality.

A Tailored Initiative for Aspiring Homeowners

The Lighthouse 3.0, a collaborative effort by Pima IDA & Tucson IDA, is not just an assistance program; it's a comprehensive initiative offering an array of benefits to prospective homeowners.

1. Steadfast Mortgage Rates

In a market marked by fluctuations, a steady mortgage rate becomes a cornerstone. The Lighthouse 3.0 program provides a reliable 6.2% rate, offering financial predictability and peace of mind throughout the homeownership journey.

2. Down Payment Assistance

Recognizing the challenge posed by the initial down payment, this program provides a generous 4% boost—equivalent to an average of $14,000. This financial support not only eases the initial burden but also brings the dream of homeownership within closer reach.

3. A Commitment That Rewards

Homes are more than just structures; they are long-term commitments. Understanding this, Lighthouse 3.0 transforms assistance into a grant if homeowners choose to reside in their new home for a minimum of three years—a heartfelt gesture of gratitude for investing in and enriching the community.
