Are you ready to make the leap into homeownership but struggling to gather the funds for a down payment? Shaffer Realty & Mortgage is here to introduce you to an exciting opportunity that could turn your homeownership dreams into reality: the CalHFA Dream For All program.

What is the CalHFA Dream For All program? The CalHFA Dream For All program is a lottery-based down payment assistance program offered by the California Housing Finance Agency (CalHFA). It’s designed to provide financial support to first-generation and first-time homebuyers, helping them overcome one of the biggest barriers to homeownership: the down payment.

How can the program benefit you? Imagine having the chance to win assistance with your down payment through a lottery system. That’s precisely what the CalHFA Dream For All program offers.

Here’s how it works:

• Eligibility: To qualify for the program, one borrower must be a first-generation homebuyer, and all borrowers must be first-time homebuyers. Additionally, your income must meet CalHFA Income Limits for the county where you’re purchasing your home.
• Next Steps: The first step is to talk to a CalHFA Approved Lender, like Shaffer Realty & Mortgage, who offers the Dream For All program. Our team will guide you through the process and help you understand what you need to do to secure a California Dream For All (DFA) Lender Pre-Approval Letter. This letter is crucial for registering for a DFA voucher in April, which is your ticket to potentially winning down payment assistance.
• Education: As part of the program requirements, you’ll need to take a 1-hour California Dream For All education course online. This course covers essential topics such as shared appreciation and how it affects your mortgage repayment. Don’t worry; it’s free and conveniently accessible on calhfadreamforall.com.
• Gathering Documents: To streamline the application process, gather necessary documents such as the DFA Lender Pre-Approval Letter, government ID, proof of current address, and any additional documentation required for the voucher application process. If you’re planning on using multiple borrowers, make sure to collect documents from each borrower.
