This article is useless without historical trends. Based on my personal experience, people have gotten help buying their first house since my parents(and in-laws) did it 40 years ago. Now how much help, and at what age seem to have changed but just the idea that people get help with their first home doesn’t seem like a new concept.

Agreed. I think the interesting bit is the help with monthly payments.
