Harris County Housing Finance Corporation launches a $100 million program funded by the Housing Recovery Act to aid homebuyers. The first MCC installment of $25 million is out now, with a separate one time tax credit up to $8,000 from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The tax credit may offset down payment and closing costs and can be claimed on 2008 or 2009 returns. The combined MCC and federal credit offer annual mortgage interest credits of 30 percent while residency continues.
