Dream For All Pre-Registration Portal
The DFA pre-registration portal will open on Wednesday, April 3, 2024, and will accept applications until 5 p.m. PDT on Monday, April 29th, 2024.
CalHFA is updating the loan reservation process for Phase 2 of the CalHFA Dream For All Shared Appreciation Loan Program (DFA) to provide more time to access the program and ensure an equitable geographic distribution of funds. CalHFA anticipates that demand for Dream For All Phase 2 will exceed available funding and will use a randomized selection process to issue vouchers for a DFA loan. Applicants will apply for a DFA Voucher through a pre-registration portal. Voucher recipients will then have 90 days to shop for a home, enter into a contract to purchase a home, and for the lender to reserve the loan through CalHFA’s Mortgage Access System (MAS).
CalHFA will allocate available funds to nine geographic regions. Each region’s allocation will be based on the number of households in that region, and DFA vouchers will be issued based on the available funds in each region. The applicant’s current address will determine which region their application will be placed in for the random selection process.
