Your Road Home: CHFA Homeownership eNews

resources for homeowners

Looking back on 2022, CHFA helped more than 6,500 Coloradans become homeowners with our home loan programs and down payment assistance and served more than 7,000 Coloradans with pre-purchase homebuyer education. This demonstrates that dreams are coming true for Coloradans, even in a tough market. In fact, 92 percent of CHFA customers were first-time homebuyers.

Part of CHFA’s role in serving Coloradans beyond its core programs is to offer resources and help prospective homebuyers navigate the process. To prepare for homeownership in 2023, there are many resources available to you, including:
