Current Program
Home at Last™ MCC Program
Do you want to become a homeowner, but don’t think you can qualify for a loan? The Nevada Rural Housing Authority is here to help with Home at Last™ home financing programs. One of our current Home at Last™ programs is a mortgage credit certificate (MCC) program.
Home at Last™ MCC provides a dollar-for-dollar federal income tax credit equal to 20% or 30% of the interest paid on a mortgage loan. The tax credit is given to the homebuyer every year as long as they live in the home. Loans of $190,000 or less will receive a 30% credit and loans of more than $190,000 will receive a 20% credit.
What does Home at Last™ MCC offer:
• Federal income tax credit equal to 20% or 30% of the interest paid on a mortgage loan
• Annual savings estimated at $2,000 a year per household
• Savings continue each year based on actual interest paid on the home
• No asset limits for homebuyers
