Homebuyer Assistance Program
The City of Ponca City recognizes that most renters could afford to make monthly house payments, but the largest obstacle is saving money for a down payment and closing costs. The Homebuyer Assistance Program is designed to decrease the barriers preventing low to moderate income individuals and families from owning homes. The Homebuyer Assistance Program is on a first come, first served basis which provides income eligible applicants with assistance for down payment and closing costs up to $3,500, based on funding availability.

Interim Assistance/Special Services
The purpose of this program is to provide interim assistance to income eligible applicants where immediate action is necessary in order to stop the physical deterioration of residential properties until something permanent can be undertaken, and to eliminate conditions which threaten their health and safety. Interim assistance will be available on a first come, first served basis for the replacement of sewer lines, gas lines, water lines, the removal of architectural barriers, and any other emergency type situation to stop the physical deterioration of residential properties, based on funding availability.
