LAKE COUNTY – California Human Development, a nonprofit agency serving northern and central California, is seeking interested families for a First-Time Homebuyer assistance program.

The program is designed to help low and moderate income households, including those with special needs, to purchase a house and maintain an affordable mortgage.

It will be available to those who have not owned a home in the past three years with some exceptions, such as families that lost a house through divorce or those that currently own a severely substandard home.

This First-Time Homebuyer program can serve a limited number of clients.

Requests to be placed on the waiting list should be made by Aug. 20.

The California Human Development housing department has complete bilingual English/Spanish capacity and can provide information and assistance in person, by telephone, or by e-mail.

Please contact Clara Turner, Housing Development Specialist, at 707-521-4763 or clara.turner@chdcorp.org.
