PA HOUSING FINANCE AGENCY PROGRAM
PHFA Overview
PHFA provides affordable mortgage financing to buy a home through a variety of programs. As an approved participating lender, Susquehanna Community Bank can review your application information to see if you are eligible for a PHFA mortgage.
Why should I choose a PHFA mortgage?
All mortgages are 30-year, fixed-rate loans, meaning that the principal and interest portions of your payment will never change. The escrow portion of your payment will increase due to changes in your property taxes or homeowners' insurance. The rates are competitive, and there is never a prepayment penalty for paying your mortgage loan off early.
