Homebuyer Aid Renewed |
|
|
08/17/2007 The state has renewed legislation that helps first-time homebuyers with down payments in Contra Costa County and a few other counties. John Laird, D-Santa Cruz, announced Governor Schwarzenegger has signed AB 1283, a bill that re-authorizes and extends by five years Santa Cruz, Monterey and Contra Costa County first-time homebuyer programs that provide low- and moderate-income first-time homebuyers with down payment assistance. "These innovative programs are making a difference for first-time homebuyers struggling to get into ever-costlier housing markets," said Assemblyman John Laird, who sponsored the legislation. Contra Costa County has assisted more than 30 first-time homebuyers under the program, which expands the state's definition of allowable income for first-time buyers seeking help. Santa Cruz and Monterey also participate in the program. |
