Delante Davis won down payment and closing cost assistance for his first home as a
House Lottery winner at the Prince George's County 2016 Housing Fair in June.
He closes on his first home today and is excited to receive $10,000 toward the purchase
of his home after renting for 7 years. Since Mr. Davis is a Prince George’s County school teacher,
he is also eligible for a .5% exemption on County transfer taxes. Thirty-one year-old Davis will
purchase a town house in Suitland and begin his path to homeownership.
