Leaders from the San Diego Association of REALTORS® were recently in Sacramento advocating on key housing issues—including strong support for the California Dream For All Program.
This program is a game-changer for first-time buyers, helping bridge one of the biggest barriers to homeownership: the down payment.
It matters because it:
Provides up to 20% of a home’s purchase price (up to $150,000) for down payment or closing costs
Focuses on first-generation and first-time homebuyers
Helps close the wealth gap and expand economic mobility
Is structured as a revolving fund, supporting future buyers as homes are sold or refinanced
The reality:
Only 18% of Californians can afford a median-priced home
Homeownership rates continue to decline—especially among underserved communities
Demand for this program has been overwhelming, proving the need is real
SDAR's Position: Continue funding the California Dream For All Program
Homeownership shouldn’t be out of reach for hardworking Californians. Programs like this create real pathways to stability, equity, and generational wealth.
SDAR remains committed to advocating for solutions that make homeownership more attainable for all.
