Gwinnett County, GA moves Homestretch DPA to online applications

Published · Homebuyer update · By the DPA Finder editorial team

Gwinnett County's Homestretch program, which offers income-eligible first-time buyers up to $10,000 at 0% interest, now takes applications online.

Gwinnett County, Georgia says its Homestretch Down Payment Assistance Program moved to a digital application starting Monday, October 26, 2026. Applicants no longer have to print and scan handwritten forms; the county says the new application can be started, saved and returned to later, and applications are open now through the county's online application portal.

Homestretch helps income-eligible first-time homebuyers with upfront down payment funds. The county describes the assistance as up to $10,000, offered as a five-year deferred payment loan with 0% interest. The county's 2026 applicant overview lists the other key rules, including household income at or below 80% of area median income and purchase price limits for existing and newly built homes, which we summarize on the Homestretch listing.

Funding and eligibility can change, so confirm details with Gwinnett County Housing and Community Development before you shop. If you are buying elsewhere in the state, compare statewide options such as Georgia Dream on our Georgia page, or read how forgivable down payment loans work.
