Van to Vault DPA Survey: Down Payment Assistance in 83 U.S. Metros (2026) Stephan D (24991774) Van to Vault (24611757) Urban policy down payment assistance first-time homebuyers housing policy owner-occupied multi-unit house hacking metropolitan areas <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). 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="https://vantovault.com/library/down-payment-assistance-duplex/" target="_blank">https://vantovault.com/library/down-payment-assistance-duplex/</a>.
