First County Bank has been approved to participate in Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston’s homeownership assistance programs, Equity Builder Program and Housing Our Workforce. Both programs help income-eligible homebuyers who are purchasing one- to four-family homes that will serve as their primary residence.  

Equity Builder Program (EBP) provides grants to financial institutions to help local first-time homebuyers with down payments and closing costs as well as homebuyer counseling and rehabilitation assistance.  Borrowers earning up to 80% of the area median income are eligible to receive up to $25,000 in assistance on a first-come, first-served basis. Buyers must complete homebuyer education/counseling. 

Housing Our Workforce (HOW) enables financial institutions to help local homebuyers earning more than 80% and up to 120% of the area median income with down payments and closing costs. Borrowers can receive up to $25,000 in assistance on a first-come, first-served basis. Buyers must complete homebuyer education/counseling if they are a first-time homebuyer. 

“These grant programs are designed to ease some challenges associated with a home purchase, particularly at a time when home prices have risen sharply and are beyond the reach of many individuals and families. We are pleased to participate to help borrowers become homebuyers, while also supporting the financial stability and vitality of our communities,” said Robert Granata, CEO, First County Bank. 

First County Bank is eligible to reserve up to $250,000 through the EBP and up to $250,0000 through HOW, depending on availability of funds in 2025. 

To learn more about applying for assistance through these programs visit Firstcountybank.com/mortgage-center/mortgage-experts/. 

Headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut, for almost 175 years, First County Bank is an independent mutual community bank with 13 branches in Stamford, Norwalk, Darien, Greenwich, Fairfield, New Canaan, and Westport offering deposit products, mortgages, wealth management, business banking services, and a full array of digital banking products.  

The Federal Home Loan Bank of Boston is a cooperatively owned wholesale bank for housing finance in the six New England states. Its mission is to provide highly reliable wholesale funding and liquidity to its member financial institutions in New England. The bank also develops and delivers competitively priced financial products, services and expertise that support housing finance, community development and economic growth, including programs targeted to lower-income households.
