Homebuyer Education

- Topics cover everything from selecting a realtor and lender to understanding “the hidden costs of homeownership.”
- Taking the class is required to receive a CHFA mortgage loan.
Down Payment Assistance
- Available for anyone getting a CHFA first mortgage loan to finance their home purchase.*
- Learn about our down payment assistance.

CHFA helped us achieve homeownership by helping us with our down payment. Down payments are really expensive and with the help from CHFA, we were able to buy a new build home and use our money that we saved up to go toward a new fence and a new washer and dryer and other things that new homes need.

Owning a home was a dream we shared. We wanted to settle down and be a family here. Now, we own something that's ours - we strived for it and we earned it!
