The upfront costs of buying a home can add up. Fifth Third may help eligible homebuyers with assistance toward a down payment, closing costs or prepaid expenses.

Program Benefits:

  • Up to $10,000 in assistance, depending on eligibility and property location.
  • Assistance that does not have to be repaid
