Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency (SHRA)

The CalHome Program is a state-funded initiative administered by the Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency (SHRA) that provides financial assistance to low- and moderate-income first-time homebuyers. The program is funded by the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) and aims to make homeownership more accessible by addressing affordability challenges in Sacramento and surrounding areas.

Key Features of the SHRA Program
Sacramento Financial Assistance
Finance
  • Deferred Payment Loans: Offers loans for down payment and/or closing cost assistance.
  • Loan amounts vary but can go up to $100,000, depending on program funding.
  • No monthly payments are required while the homeowner occupies the property as their primary residence.
  • Interest Rates: Loans are typically 0% interest, making the program affordable for participants.
  • Repayment Terms: Deferred until the property is sold, refinanced, or no longer the homeowner’s primary residence.

Sacramento DPA Program Benefits

Checklist Green
  • Makes homeownership achievable for low-income families.
  • Reduces upfront costs, which are often the biggest barrier to homeownership.
  • Deferred payments mean borrowers do not face an additional financial burden while living in the home.
Important Considerations of the Sacramento DPA
Thoughts
  • Limited Funding: CalHome funds are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis and may be limited.
  • Affordability Restrictions: Homes purchased with CalHome assistance have restrictions on resale to maintain affordability.
  • Primary Residence Requirement: Assistance is only available for homes that will serve as the buyer’s primary residence.
