HispanicLending.com, Dallas, has launched "Casa de Sueno," a new downpayment assistance gift program that offers qualified Hispanic buyers in all 50 states up to 10% of the purchase price of their new home.Executives said industry data continue to show that lack of downpayment funds remains one of the biggest barriers to homeownership. The program may also be used for closing-cost expenses and will be administered by AmeriDream Inc., a nonprofit provider of affordable housing opportunities for low- to moderate-income individuals and families. Other benefits of the program include a homebuyer education course and flexible qualifications for both first-time homebuyers and homeowners, regardless of age, race, creed, or gender, HispanicLending.com said.
