Yes, the NHT assists with the deposit in two ways.
1. If you have paid the 5% minimum deposit, and the vendor requires a larger deposit amount, the NHT will assist if the house/lot being purchased is less than the loan that you are eligible for.
2. The NHT will allow you to use contributions not yet due for refund to offset your deposit under the Contribution Refund Towards Deposit (CRTD) facility. Up to 6 years contributions can be used.
