CalHFA’s Dream For All program helps eligible first-time homebuyers overcome one of the biggest
barriers to homeownership — the down payment.
Because funds are limited and distributed through a randomized selection
Yes. This program is designed specifically for first-time homebuyers, meaning you have not owned a home in the past three years. If you have been renting and waiting for the right opportunity, this program may be a great fit.
At least one borrower must be a first-generation homebuyer, which generally means your parents did not own a home, or you have been financially independent and have not owned a home yourself.
This requirement helps open the door for families who have not had homeownership passed down to them.
Qualified buyers may receive up to 20% of the home’s purchase price, with a maximum of $150,000 in assistance.
This can dramatically reduce the amount of cash you need upfront and make buying possible much sooner.
No. You do not need perfect credit.
While there are minimum credit requirements, many buyers are surprised to learn they qualify even if their credit is not perfect. The best way to know for sure is to complete a quick pre-qualification.
Eligibility is based on CalHFA income limits, which vary depending on your county and household size.
Many buyers assume they earn too much or too little, but often they fall within the qualifying range. A quick review can confirm your eligibility.
