GAP Program

The Purchase Area Development District has limited funding for new homes under a program called GAP.  The GAP is funded through the US Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Kentucky Housing Corporation.  Applicants must meet income eligibility requirements (80% of Area Median Income).  Potential homeowners must be creditworthy in order to obtain a mortgage through a local lender.  Some of the items GAP financing includes are:
