San Jose's First-Time Homebuyer Program

San Jose offers various programs to support first-time homebuyers, particularly in addressing the challenges of high housing costs in the region. Below is an overview of key initiatives:

Empower Homebuyers SCC Program

  • Overview:
    • Provides loans of up to 30% of the home’s purchase price for down payment assistance.
  • Eligibility:
    • First-time homebuyers in Santa Clara County.
    • Must meet income limits and other program criteria.
  • Requirements:
    • Completion of an 8-hour HUD-certified homebuyer education course.
    • Use the home as a primary residence.
  • Loan Details:
    • Deferred payment until the property is sold, refinanced, or paid off.
    • Covers single-family homes, condos, or apartments (excluding duplexes or manufactured homes)

Homebuyer Empowerment Loan Program (HELP)

  • Overview: Targets households with incomes slightly above limits for other assistance programs, offering loans up to 10% of the purchase price.
  • Loan Details:
    • Deferred payment structure similar to Empower Homebuyers SCC.
    • Designed to fill funding gaps for middle-income buyers

Measure A-Funded Assistance

  • Funding Source: A $950 million housing bond approved by voters.
  • Support Available:
    • Zero-interest, deferred-payment loans.
    • Helps buyers cover portions of their down payment.
  • Unique Features: Funds are reinvested as loans are repaid, enabling sustained assistance for future buyers.
General Requirements Across Programs
  • Must be a first-time homebuyer (defined as not owning a home in the past three years).
  • Meet specific income thresholds based on household size.
  • Participate in approved homebuyer education programs.
  • Commit to living in the purchased home as a primary residence.
Important Considerations
  • Limited Funding: MAP funds are often allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so early application is critical.
  • Shared Appreciation: Repayment terms may limit financial gains if the home appreciates significantly.
  • Residency Requirement: Borrowers must use the property as their primary residence.
