a) First Mortgage Loan Program - This type of first time homebuyer loan program could easily be one of the agency's most popular program as it caters to first time homebuyers who are seeking for a 30-year loan term and an interest rate that remains fixed throughout the entire 30 years.

b) CalHFA Targeted Areas Loan Program - This program is very much similar to the First Mortgage Loan Program in the manner that both programs offer homeownership opportunities in the form of a 30-year, fixed loan rate. They only differ in the sense that the CalHFA Targeted Areas Loan Program is only available in Federally Designated Targeted Areas only.

c) California Homebuyer's Downpayment Assistance Program (CHDAP) - This program can be used in conjunction with any other first time homebuyer program as it provides homebuyers with the opportunity to procure a deferred-payment subordinate loan in the amount of 3% of the purchase price or appraised value of their desired property.

d) School Facility Fee Down Payment Assistance Program (SFF) - This program is especially designed to provides assistance for down payment and/or closing costs to buyers of newly constructed homes throughout California and if the conditions of the program are met, the buyer might not have to repay the funds that have been administered under the program..

e) Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program - This program is funded by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development. It enables qualified first time homebuyers to receive monthly assistance for homeownership expenses in lieu of monthly rent aid.
