šŗšø California advances 0 down, no payment home 'loans' for undocumented immigrants
The California Senate Appropriations Committee advanced a bill to allow undocumented immigrants to make use of the stateās zero down, no payment home āloanā program, an expansion the legislature says would create āsignificant cost pressures.ā
āThe social and economic benefits of homeownership should be available to everyone. As such, the California Dream for All Program should be available to all,ā wrote bill author Assemblymember Joaquin Arambula, D-Fresno. āWhen undocumented individuals are excluded from such programs, they miss out on a crucial method of securing financial security and personal stability for themselves and their families.ā
This program allows applicants to secure āloansā of up to 20% of the homeās purchase price ā or, about what a typical down payment is ā with zero down payment on this state loan, and no payments.
The stateās āloanā can potentially be repaid to the state when the home is refinanced, sold, or transferred, with the borrower paying back the original loan amount plus 20% of any increase in value on the property. Itās not clear what happens if a family decides to hold on to a home as there are no provisions on how long a property can be held for, which means certain kinds of trusts could potentially allow the loan to not be paid back.
This year, 18 thousand individuals applied for the $255 million āloanā program through a lottery, leaving 1,700 lucky winners with up to $150,000 each towards down payment and closing costs.

āMost of the growth in spending has gone to retirement and healthcare, while programs that promote upward mobility... have been left behindā
