California Association of Realtors Advocates for Continued Support of Dream For All Funding to Boost Homeownership
The California Association of Realtors (C.A.R.) has expressed its support for Governor Gavin Newsom's revised 2026-27 state budget proposal, which maintains funding for the California Housing Finance Agency's (CalHFA) Dream For All program. This initiative provides down payment assistance, a critical tool for expanding homeownership opportunities, particularly for first-time and first-generation buyers in California. C.A.R. President Tamara Suminski emphasized the importance of this funding in addressing the state's housing affordability crisis and supporting diverse populations in achieving financial stability and generational wealth. The association also commended efforts to assist homeowners affected by wildfires through the CalAssist program, which offers mortgage relief.
