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. 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鈥檚 Mortgage Access System (MAS).
CalHFA will allocate available funds to nine geographic regions. Each region鈥檚 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鈥檚 current address will determine which region their application will be placed in for the random selection process.
