Employee Down Payment Assistance Program
The Employee Down Payment Assistance Program is an employee benefit open to all regular County and Housing Authority employees who do not currently own a home in San Mateo County. Eligibility includes full-time, permanent employment with the County or Housing Authority for at least 18 months, regardless of income.
The program is designed to encourage employees to live within the County, decreasing the environmental impact and the physical/emotional effects of a long commute.
The program offers a $100,000 down payment assistance loan towards the purchase of a home in San Mateo County. The loan is deferred for the first, five years, amortized for 30 years at three percent interest. The County also offers a $5,000 grant, to awardees, for those moving to San Mateo County from outside the County, to help cover closing costs.
