ADFA Move-Up eligibility in Hughes, Arkansas

The Arkansas Development Finance Authority (ADFA) Move-Up program provides down-payment and closing-cost assistance to qualifying Arkansas buyers — including Hughes residents in St. Francis County. The program stacks on top of a first mortgage (FHA, VA, USDA, or conventional) and offers two options: a $15,000 grant (forgivable after a holding period) or a $12,500 second mortgage at 0% interest.

How Hughes buyers use ADFA Move-Up

Hughes buyers who use ADFA generally have credit between 640-720, household income within ADFA county limits, and either limited cash for down payment or a desire to preserve cash reserves. Hughes (population ~1,300) and the surrounding St. Francis County area qualify for ADFA. The program is most commonly stacked with FHA (for the down-payment savings) or with USDA (for buyers who want the rural-development zero-down PLUS closing cost help).

ADFA income limits in St. Francis County

ADFA income limits for the Move-Up program are tied to St. Francis County area median income (AMI). The thresholds vary by household size and are typically set at 80% of AMI for the standard track and higher for first-time buyers. We pull the live ADFA county income limit for St. Francis before confirming eligibility — the limit is updated annually.
