Hoosier Homes Guide

Who Administers the Hoosier Homes Program?

Hoosier Homes is an Indiana down payment assistance program reserved through the DASH portal and originated through participating lenders — including Luminate Bank, where Ryan Minick and Steve DeLon deliver the program to Indiana buyers.

DASH Reservations + Participating Lenders

Hoosier Homes down payment assistance is allocated through the DASH reservation portal. Before closing, your participating lender reserves the DPA funds for your file — confirming county eligibility, assistance tier (4% or 5%), and available program capacity.

The loan itself is originated by an approved participating lender. Ryan Minick and Steve DeLon at The 2 Mortgage Guys work through Luminate Bank — a participating lender — to pre-qualify you, structure your first and second liens, and manage the DASH reservation through closing.
