California Housing Finance Agency (CalHFA)

Happy National Homeowners Day!

Today, we’re celebrating every proud moment, every first key turn, and every California family who made the leap into homeownership. From your first DIY project to your first holiday in your new space — this day is for YOU. Already own a home? Drop us a note in the comments and tell us what you love most about it. Still working toward it? Don’t worry, we’re here when you’re ready.

As we celebrate this season of giving, we reflect on the gift of homeownership. This year, CalHFA helped nearly 7,000 California families unlock their front doors for the first time. To every family we've served: Your trust means everything. To those still dreaming: We're here and ready to help make 2026 your year. Wishing you warmth, joy, and the comfort of home this holiday season.

Are you ready to take a step toward generational wealth for your family? As California’s affordable housing lender, CalHFA supports the needs of low- and moderate-income renters and homebuyers by providing financing and programs with a focus on equity. CalHFA can help you enjoy the benefits of homeownership now and the security it brings for generations to come.

What do you think discourages the most people from buying a home? It is probably no surprise to you that all these answers are often cited as the speed bump in families’ homeownership journey. CalHFA can help you tackle some of these with our homeownership programs. Connect with a CalHFA Preferred Loan Officer today to learn more.

Relief can come in many forms, a quiet moment, a helping hand, or support when it’s needed most.

The CalAssist Mortgage Fund provides up to $20,000 in mortgage payment relief to help California homeowners after a disaster. For a complete list of qualified disaster visit CalAssistMortgageFund.Org.

Homeownership is not just about property — it’s about purpose, place, and possibility. Speaking of purpose, that is exactly why CalHFA was formed – to help more Californians afford a home. Let us serve our purpose and help you find your place full of possibilities.
