Program Criteria
The Closing Cost Grant Program (“Program”) is intended to provide closing cost grants of up to $10,000 each to First-Time Homebuyers who are members of an Underserved Community and are using the proposed grant to purchase a property in California.
Please select all options below to verify you meet ALL QUALIFICATIONS
Recipient must
be a First-Time Homebuyer. “First-Time Homebuyer” means an individual (and all co-buyers on the property purchase contract, if any) who has had no ownership interest in any real property in any location during the last three (3) years.
Recipient must
be a member of an Underserved Community. “Underserved Community” includes: (i) people of color; (ii) persons who are homeless or otherwise experiencing housing instability; (iii) persons with disabilities (physical or mental), particularly persons living in housing with one or more qualities of an institutional setting, persons leaving institutions, or persons at-risk of institutionalization; (iv) persons living in impoverished areas or experiencing persistent poverty or inequality, including historical wealth disparities as compared to majority groups; and (v) lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) persons.
The Property
being purchased by Recipient must be a single-family residence (including a manufactured home or mobile home if affixed to property, a single-family residential unit in a condominium, cooperative or planned unit development, or a single-family residential unit within a one to four (1-4) unit property) in California.
The purchased property
must not have an affordable housing deed restriction that limits Recipient’s ownership rights in the property’s equity or creates shared equity homeownership, preventing Recipient from retaining the full benefits of property appreciation or equity gains.
Recipient’s income
must be no more than 120% of the Area Median Income (“AMI”) as set forth by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”).
Recipient
must be represented by a REALTOR® in the transaction.
Recipient
must certify they intend to move into the property within 60 days of close of escrow and occupy the property as their principal residence for at least three (3) years.
Recipient
must
have used financing (either a Government or Conventional GSE Loan) to purchase the property and must not have paid all-cash for the purchase. Exceptions may be allowed subject to Grantor’s prior written approval if Recipient used any alternative financing.
Recipient must
be left with no more than $20K in savings after the purchase.
All criteria must be met for HAF Closing Cost Grant consideration
