The American Dream Act - First Time Home Buyer Grant

The American Dream Act is a proposed and lead by Davin Keeley with the initiative to help first-time homebuyers achieve the milestone of owning property in the United States. This act would establish a $7,500 government grant awarded to eligible first-time buyers as a down payment or to cover closing costs, making homeownership more accessible and financially achievable for aspiring homeowners.

Purpose: The American Dream Act aims to restore hope and opportunity for hardworking Americans by promoting homeownership, a fundamental step in achieving long-term financial stability and building generational wealth. By giving first-time buyers a meaningful boost, the Act would support economic recovery, strengthen communities, and encourage pride of ownership across the country.

Grant Details:

• Amount: $7,500 per eligible individual or household.

• Eligibility: U.S. citizens or permanent residents purchasing their first home, who have not owned property within the past three years.

• Use of Funds: The grant can be applied toward a down payment, closing costs, or other necessary expenses tied directly to the home purchase.

Expected Impact:

The Act would empower first-time buyers to overcome initial financial barriers, widening access to homeownership and encouraging personal investment in American communities. By making homeownership a more attainable goal, the American Dream Act would contribute to a vibrant housing market and cultivate a renewed sense of ownership and pride among Americans.

Thank you to everyone interested in getting this to the Oval Office!

This is a great Idea, along with the elimination of property tax. And limiting the interest rates to no more than 3 percent. No high density developments, and free vocational training for employment in the manufacturing industries that are brought back from overseas. Its a multi-faceted problem. You need both to support the other.

Exactly! What would you propose for the regulation of property tax federally?

Could we please have an option for 0% down. We pay so much in rent. We could definitely pay a mortgage, but can’t save enough for a down payment, because of the price of homes. The 7500 could go towards closing costs. I guarantee this would what we need to help the American dream happen for most families.
