What they offer

Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency (PHFA) is Pennsylvania's state Housing Finance Agency. Like most state HFAs, it typically offers below-market-rate mortgage programs, down payment and closing cost assistance for first-time and repeat buyers, and may administer USDA Rural Development or other rural housing programs specific to Pennsylvania. Contact the agency directly or check their website for current program names, income limits, and eligibility, since these details change periodically.

Also check federal programs

USDA Rural Development, USDA Farm Service Agency loans, and VA home loans are available regardless of state and often apply well to land purchases.
