The new program is coordinated through SHE and all home mortgages will be financed through Tri Counties Bank. Qualified low- and moderate-income borrowers can apply to receive up to 3% of their future home’s purchase price (up to $10,000) in down-payment assistance loans. All loans have a term of five years with zero percent interest and will qualify for forgiveness if terms are met.

“Tri Counties Bank is pleased to continue partnering with SHE to provide low-income buyers with the opportunity to achieve the dream of purchasing their first home,” said Aytom Salomon, Senior Vice President and Market President of Tri Counties Bank’s Greater Bakersfield region. “Our goal is to strengthen and grow our communities, especially those that have been underserved in the Central Valley area.”

First-time home buyers may also be able to obtain additional down payment assistance through other programs available through Tri Counties Bank, including:

  • Tri Counties Bank’s Homeownership Access Program
  • CalHFA Down Payment Assistance Program
  • California Dream For All Shared Appreciation Loan Program
  • Workforce Initiative Subsidy for Homeownership (WISH) First-Time Homebuyer Program

“This partnership with Tri Counties Bank is vital to bringing home ownership within reach for hard working families in the San Joaquin Valley,” said Tom Collishaw, CEO of SHE. “Owning a home continues to be the most important path to economic security in this country.”

In addition to the DPA Program, Tri Counties Bank and SHE will be offering two “Understanding Down Payment Assistance” workshops on October 18 at 5:30 PM and October 21 at 10:30 AM. Workshops will be hosted at the Annadale Commons Community Center at 1515 E Annadale Avenue in Fresno. Attendees will learn about the program’s process and about qualifying for down payment assistance. Space is limited and spots can be reserved by calling (559) 434-0939.

Interested home buyers can apply for the Down Payment Assistance Program by calling (559) 802-1640 or by visiting https://www.selfhelpenterprises.org/.
