About This Program

The Grant Map catalogs CHFA HomeOpener Mortgage (No First-Time Buyer Requirement) in its Denver, CO research directory. The record carries audience tags for homeowners; those tags do not establish eligibility or current service coverage.

CHFA HomeOpener is a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage with no first-time homebuyer requirement and no purchase price limits, making it ideal for repeat buyers who still need income assistance. Down payment assistance up to $25,000 (or 4% of the first mortgage, whichever is less) is available as a zero-interest second mortgage deferred until sale or refinance. Income limits apply; minimum $1,000 of buyer's own funds required; homebuyer education class mandatory.

DPA is 0% interest, deferred. No Recapture Tax, unlike some CHFA programs. Second mortgage repaid at sale or refinance.
