ATLANTA, GA — Ameris Bank is expanding a program aimed at helping first time homebuyers.

The Atlanta-based bank first rolled out its Ameris Choice Homebuyer Assistance Program in Jacksonville, Florida.

Now, the bank says that after a successful run, the program is being expanded to first time homebuyers in Atlanta and Gainesville, Georgia and in certain areas of Charleston, South Carolina.

The Choice Homebuyer program is available to first time buyers who are buying a primary residence.
