The funding is made to be available to two homebuyer categories. Households who have combined incomes that are equal to or less than 100% of the County’s Area Median Income (AMI) will be eligible for up to a $150,000 subsidy. Households between 100% and 120% of the County’s AMI will be eligible for up to a $100,000 subsidy. Seventy five (75) eligible households will be entered into a down payment assistance lottery.

Once you has completed their homebuyer education from a HUD-certified hombuyer education provider, you may submit a First Time Homebuyer Counseling Form with your HUD-education certificate to BAAHA. The form is not an application for a subsidy or program, but is used by BAAHA to determine a household is eligibililty to participate in a homebuyer program, and/or if a household is eligible for free homebuyer counseling offered by the respective city. The counseling form is also used to screen a household's applicability for a below market rate home (BMR) in wither Hayward or San Leandro.
Homebuyer Counseling
Not to be confused with homebuyer education, counseling is conducted by a HUD-certified agency, on a one-on-one basis. Some households may be eligible for free homebuyer counseling. Homebuyer counseling varies slightly between agencies, but may cover a variety of topics, such as credit recovery, debt management, budgeting, saving, and other topics to help you prepare for homeownership.
