The city of Chula Vista launched a program to help low-income families buy their first homes.
Eligible families with incomes at or below 80 percent of San Diego County’s Area Median Income, which is currently $104,100 for a family of 4, may apply for a three percent interest, deferred-payment loan.
According to a city spokesperson, the loan covers up to 22 percent of the purchase price or a maximum loan of $120,000 to purchase a single-family home, townhome, or condominium in the City of Chula Vista. The homes purchase price cannot exceed $570,000 for an attached home or $826,500 for detached homes.
Chula Vista’s First-Time Homebuyer Program began in 2004 and has assisted many households to become homeowners using local, state, and federal funds.
