Middle Income Down Payment Assistance Program

Eligible homebuyers who contribute a minimum of $10,000 toward their down payment may qualify for a grant of up to $50,000 that can be used for the homebuyer’s down payment and closing costs.

‍A homebuyer applicant must fulfill the requirements below in order to be eligible for Middle-Income Down Payment Assistance funds, which are given through a participating FHLBank San Francisco member.

‍

The applicant must:

• Be a first-time homebuyer, as defined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
• Income eligibility requires the homebuyer household to have earnings between 80.01% and 140% of the HUD defined AMI based on purchase property address and adjusted for household size
• Successfully complete a homebuyer counseling program
• Purchase an eligible property as their primary residence in Arizona, California, or Nevada. Such property may include (1) single-family homes, such as a condominium, cooperative housing, and manufactured homes, and (2) housing with two to four dwelling units with at least one owner-occupied unit
• Open escrow on a home purchase transaction, with closing scheduled within 30 days prior to the Bank member requesting program funds, which such member will disburse to the homebuyer
• Make a minimum contribution of $10,000, which may come from savings or gifted funds
