What is the Dream For All Shared Appreciation Loan Program?
The Dream For All Shared Appreciation Loan Program is an income-based program through California Housing Finance Agency (CalHFA) that provides down payment assistance of up to 20% to qualifying homebuyers.
This program was established through the 2022-23 State Budget. Originally, the program would only have provided down payment assistance for 17% of the purchase price of a home. So, it is a big deal that it will provide up to 20%.
