We are aware that some of our Family First VISA card holders who are signed up for eStatements received a paper statement for the month of January. These members should have received their January VISA eStatements also and will not receive a paper statement fee. We’re working with our vendor to ensure this doesn’t happen in the future. We apologize for this error. 

All Family First branches and the call center will be closing early on Monday, April 8 due to the full solar eclipse happening that afternoon. We hope you enjoy the eclipse!  

All Family First Debit and Credit Cards are currently experiencing an issue where transactions are not going through. We are working to resolve this and apologize for the inconvenience.

Making Your Home Buying Dreams a Reality

We offer numerous mortgage programs to promote homeownership among low to moderate-income individuals throughout Rochester, NY and beyond. Through our partnership with The State of NY Mortgage Agency (SONYMA), the traditional programs offer low interest mortgages for first-time homebuyers.

Homebuyer Dream Program

With Family First and the Homebuyer Dream Program, you can get up to a $20,000 grant to help you purchase your first home!

The HBD is a grant program offered to eligible first time home buyers that provides up to $20,000 on a first come first serve basis. Grant money can be used towards your down payment and closing costs and as credit towards an approved homeowner counseling program.

This grant program is through the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York. It’s important to get pre-approved before then so you’ll be ready to go.
