HEART Announces Homebuyer Assistance Program
This new program, announced at the Housing Endowment and Regional Trust (HEART) Executive Briefing and Luncheon on May 14, will provide thousands of people who work or live in San Mateo County with financial help to buy homes.
HEART's mission is to meet critical housing needs in San Mateo County. Their "Open Doors in Our Community" Program will primarily target middle-income workers who live or work in county HEART member jurisdictions. (Pacifica, Belmont and South San Francisco are not participating as of now.) Once $1.5 million of private-sector contributions is raised, they will enable people with incomes up to $150,000 to buy a home using a HEART loan in a HEART member jurisdiction. Until now, the program has been funded primarily by 17 city governments and the County of San Mateo.
After HEART raises the funds and finds a financial institution to work with, the buyer assistance program will offer mortgages with below-market interest rates. For more information or to donate to the "Open Doors in Our Community" visit www.heartofsmc.org or call 650-872-4444.
