I have talked to several Kansas City REALTORS and they tell me that there is no home buyer assistance programs. Have all of the home buyer assistance programs really been removed? I'm looking to buy a home on the Kansas side of the state line. Do you have any suggestions on some home buyer assistance?

Answer: Sorry to hear that you haven't heard of any home buyer assistance programs, Allison. Although many home buyer assistance programs have been removed, there are still some home buyer assistance programs available. Here is a list of home buyer assistance programs that I'm familiar with:

	State of Kansas first time homebuyers program - provides down payment assistance to qualified Kansas buyers for the purchase of their first home.
	Rural first-time homebuyer program - statewide program by the Federal Home Loan Bank of Topeka
	Kansas Affiliates of Habitat for Humanity - through volunteer labor, builds and rehabilitates houses for families in need
	U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Housing - homebuyer programs in rural communities. Gardner, Spring Hill, Wellsville, Eudora, Basehor and Tonganoxie qualify. A home buyer can get into a home with zero down.

	Kansas City   City of Kansas City, Kansas - Community Housing Investment Program (CHIPs)

Lawrence - homeownership assistance programs through a partnership of the City of Lawrence and Tenants To Homeowners

Leavenworth - First Time Home Buyer Assistance Program

There is also available:
CHIP - can offer up to $25,000 assistance for home buyers in Wyandotte County.
Physician Mortgage Loan - Can offer a zero down mortgage loan for physicians.
VA Mortgage Loan - Allows a veteran to obtain a zero down mortgage loan.
