Its availability is not limited to first-time homebuyers, and the program provides down payment assistance. It is available to potential homebuyers with household incomes up to 115% of area median income (AMI) established by parish.

Through the Market Rate GNMA Program, homeowners are offered 30-year, fixed-rate FHA, VA or USDA Rural Development mortgages.
