Mortgage Assistance Programs
NPHS offers a variety of mortgage assistance programs for residents living in the Inland Empire. These down payment assistance programs give families opportunities to fulfill their dream of home ownership. Serving low-to-moderate income families, NPHS offers deferred loans which dramatically reduce monthly mortgage payments. At this time, we have the following programs available:
Workforce Initiative Subsidy for Homeownership (WISH)
NPHS through the Workforce Initiative Subsidy for Homeownership (W.I.S.H.) program, offers up to $15,000 for each eligible household to be used towards down payment for the purchase of a home within the Inland Valley. The program is intended for lower income (80% AMI and below) first time home buyers who can afford monthly mortgage payments but do not have quite enough saved to pay the initial home purchase down payment and non-reoccurring closing costs. The goal of the program is to increase homeownership in the Inland Valley.
The W.I.S.H. Down Payment Assistance Loan is unique in that it is fully forgiven after a 5 year period. The amount owed will decrease by 20% for each of the 5 years the borrower retains homeownership of the home as their primary residence. Funds are available on a 3-to-1 matching format in which the borrower can come in with a maximum of $5,000 in order to receive the maximum loan amount of $15,000. Funds are available on a first come, first served basis with a fully executed purchase contract. PLEASE NOTE there is a $1500 loan processing fee to process W.I.S.H loan applications unless the borrower is layering the W.I.S.H loan application with any other NPHS loan products.
In order to effectively determine your eligibility, please complete this application as thoroughly and accurately as possible. Please note that you must use an NPHS Approved Lender and submit a completed application for the W.I.S.H. Down Payment Assistance Loan. The application, along with all required documents, must be submitted a minimum of 4 weeks prior to any loan commitments or closing dates. When you are qualified you will be issued a letter of preapproval that will remain valid for 90 days.
Applications should be submitted to Curtis Miller, Community Lending & Investment Manager via email at Curtis@nphsinc.org or in person at the NPHS Headquarters located at 9551 Pittsburgh Avenue, Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91730.
