LOAN PROGRAMS
Santa Clara County
Mortgage Credit Certificate Program
The Santa Clara County Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) Program provides financial assistance to first-time homebuyers for the purchase of single-family homes, townhomes, and condominiums. An MCC gives the homebuyer a federal income tax credit each year the buyer keeps the same mortgage loan and lives in the same house.
Housing Trust Silicon Valley
Down Payment / Closing Cost Loans
The Housing Trust Silicon Valley has low-interest, down payment or closing cost loan or grant programs for low to middle–income households. Since 2001, 40% of all loans have been made to low-income families with the remainder going to those with moderate-incomes. Eligibility for the loan programs are determined by the gross annual household income, household size, loan repayment terms and maximum loan amount.

Maximum household incomes under the program range from $105,200 for a 1-person household to $198,350 for an 8-person household. Household income limitations are listed in the table below.
Homebuyer Empowerment Loan Program (HELP)

This program will help households whose incomes are up to 140% of the Area Median Income (AMI) to purchase a market-rate primary residence.
