The CalHFA Down Payment Assistance Program is a California-based program that provides financial assistance to eligible first-time homebuyers who need help with their down payment and closing costs. The program is offered by the California Housing Finance Agency (CalHFA), a self-supported state agency that helps low and moderate-income Californians to become homeowners.

The CalHFA Down Payment Assistance Program offers a deferred payment loan of up to 3% - 3.5% of the purchase price or appraised value of the home, whichever is less. The loan is designed to help with the down payment and closing costs, and it does not have to be repaid until the home is sold, refinanced, or the first mortgage is paid off.

To be eligible for the CalHFA Down Payment Assistance Program, you must meet certain income and purchase price limits, as well as credit score requirements. You must also attend a homebuyer education course, and use the home as your primary residence.

It's important to note that the CalHFA Down Payment Assistance Program is just one of many programs available to help first-time homebuyers in California.

If you're interested in the program, you should give me  a call, text or email so we can discuss your current situation and see if you are eligible for this program.

Chenoa Fund DPA For FHA loans offers one product with a repayable and forgivable option. For all products the borrower will need to have a credit score of 600 or higher,

Repayable: This loan has a 10-year term with an interest rate 2% higher than the interest rate on the FHA first mortgage. This loan does require a monthly payment on the second mortgage.

Forgivable: This loan has a 30-year term with an interest rate of 0% (0% APR). This loan does not require a monthly payment on the second mortgage. Forgiveness is determined by the DPA amount:

• 3.5%: Forgivable after 36 consecutive, on-time payments on the FHA first mortgage. This forgiveness period resets if the borrower makes a late payment, but the borrower has the full 30-year term to meet the forgiveness conditions. This loan may also be forgiven at the end of the 30-year term if the previous forgiveness condition has not been met.
• 5%: Forgivable after the initial 120 consecutive, on-time payments on the FHA first mortgage. This forgiveness period is terminated if the borrower has a payment that is 60+ days late, but the loan will remain with a 30-year term, 0% interest rate (0% APR), and no monthly payment.

Both forgivable loan options may be forgiven at the end of the 30-year term if the previous forgiveness conditions have not been met, even if the borrower made late payments on the FHA first mortgage. The loan will need to be repaid upon transfer of ownership or refinance if it is not already forgiven.
