Housing Down Payment Programs

Community Stabilization Home Loan Program by Sacramento Home Loan Lender

California Housing Down Payment Programs, or CHDAP for short, give a much needed break for first time home buyers in California.  The goal for this program is to provide low or no cost down payment and closing cost funding for the purchase of homes in California.

Some of the basic qualifications for this program are:

  • Borrowers household income cannot exceed median income for area.
  • Maximum sales prices are limited by FHA Loan limits.
  • Program is for California properties only.
  • Borrower cannot have owed a home in the last three years.
  • Must be able to qualify for a FHA loan.

The benefits of using a CHDAP program vs. most other down payment assistance programs is that it does not require the participation of the seller. This allows you more homes to select from. By combining the CHDAP loan and sellers assistance of up to 6%, a homebuyer can use this program to purchase a home with no money down and no closing costs. In most cases, the down payment assistance programs offered through CalHFA must be combined with a CalHFA first mortgage and the borrower must meet the FHA loan guidelines.
