(KNOX) – North Dakota Housing Finance Agency (NDHFA) recently awarded six Champions of Affordable Housing awards to loan officers, real estate agents, and lending institutions that promote its homeownership programs. The state agency provides individuals and families, primarily first-time buyers, with low-cost financing, down payment and closing cost assistance.

“NDHFA’s Champion Awards recognize and celebrate the work of the individuals and businesses who go above and beyond to provide North Dakotans with an affordable home,” said Dave Flohr, the agency’s executive director.

First International Bank & Trust and Gate City Bank received NDHFA’s Award of Excellence for best practices and outstanding delivery of the agency’s homeownership programs.

“In 2024, NDHFA helped 2,189 households purchase a home – first-time buyers, families who previously owned a home and needed assistance to buy again, and special needs households,” said Flohr. “All of the buyers learned about our homeownership programs from one of our outstanding housing partners.”
