C.A.R.’s HAF Closing Cost Assistance Grant Program, in a joint effort with our non-profit partners, helps first-time homebuyers who are members of an *”underserved community” bridge the affordability gap by providing them with up to $10,000 in closing cost assistance. Each grant is provided to low-to-moderate income (120% AMI and below)
first-time homebuyers who utilize the services of a CA REALTOR®.
Through the grant program’s first month, member support has been beyond amazing. Our 2022 donation total to our Housing Affordability Fund (HAF) has already surpassed $320,000.
