Aurora, CO down payment assistance now closed

Published Nov 1, 2026 · Homebuyer update · By the DPA Finder editorial team

The City of Aurora, Colorado says its down payment assistance program, which covered 4% to 10% of the price as a silent second loan, is not currently taking applications.

The City of Aurora, Colorado has marked its down payment assistance program as closed. The city's program page now says Aurora is not currently accepting applications. The page had said the opportunity was available through Oct. 31, 2026, or until all available funding was distributed.

The program covered between 4% and 10% of a home's purchase price for homes inside Aurora city limits, for households earning no more than 120% of area median income (up to $168,120 for a family of four, per the city). The help was a silent second loan with no monthly payments, repaid when the owner sells, refinances or pays off the first mortgage. It was funded by a Colorado Department of Local Affairs grant drawn from Proposition 123 housing money.

If you were planning to use Aurora's program, statewide help is still listed on our Colorado page, including the CHFA Down Payment Assistance Grant, the CHFA second mortgage loan and metroDPA for the Denver metro area. You can also read how deferred down payment loans work.
