Marquette Bank is proud to announce its participation in the Illinois Housing Development Authority’s (IHDA) “Welcome Home Heroes Finance” package, offering a $10,000 grant in down payment and closing cost assistance for members of the military. This program was launched mid-December and represents a special commitment to veterans and those men and women who recently served in Iraq and Afghanistan, safeguarding our freedom.

The program is available to active military, reservists and National Guards purchasing their first home. Veterans are also eligible for the program but do not need to be first-time homebuyers. The $10,000 in down payment and closing cost assistance grant is available on many types of home loans including: VA, FHA, USDA and Conventional mortgages. For more information, on the “Welcome Home Heroes Finance” grant package of $10,000 from the IDHA or the up to $4,000 grant from the Marquette Bank Affordable Housing Foundation, contact the Marquette Bank at 1-708-364-2525.
