OUR MISSION
Investing in diverse communities with financing programs that help more Californians have a place to call home.

For 50 years, the California Housing Finance Agency (CalHFA) has supported the needs of low- and moderate-income renters and homebuyers by providing financing and programs with a focus on equity. Established in 1975, CalHFA was chartered as the state's affordable housing lender. The Agency's Multifamily Lending Division finances affordable rental housing through collaborations with developers, local, state, and federal government partners, and more, while its Single-Family Division partners with a preferred lender network to provide first-time homebuyers with down payment and closing cost assistance and access to first mortgage loans. CalHFA is a self-supported state agency that doesn't rely on taxpayers’ dollars for its operational costs but regularly administers various state and federal resources on behalf of the state.

At CalHFA, we embrace a culture that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive for everyone by building an organization that is as diverse as the communities we serve. CalHFA believes that diversity provides a competitive advantage, strengthens our innovative capacity, and enhances our ability to succeed and grow.

CalHFA has again been certified as a Great Place to Work for in 2024. Join CalHFA and help us to advance and continue our mission of investing in diverse communities with financing programs that help more Californians have a place to call home.
