Down Payment Assistance

For most people, saving enough money for a down payment is the #1 obstacle to home ownership. Luckily, Burke & Herbert Bank can help, by providing access to a wide range of down payment assistance programs.

Depending on your situation and need, we can help customers access down payment funds for first-time home buyers, as well as additional programs to help those who are in other eligible groups, such as veterans, active military, and service sector employees such as first responders.
