From the nightly news, to friendly banter between parents at soccer games, the credit crunch is an issue we all have to deal with. Potential home buyers may be emotionally and financially ready to buy a home, the problem many face is getting the initial financing. As an ongoing series on the PopCasa blog, we are going to post information and links to resources to non-traditional forms of home financing such has county of city specific programs.

Through their Department of Housing, The County of San Mateo offers various home buying assistance programs. It looks like many of the programs that were once available, are now gone. However, they list a few. Many of these programs have some type of restriction (income, city, etc.).  FYI…when considering using a county/city buyer assistance program find out if the county or city will be entitled to a portion of any equity gain when you sell the property.

Below is a nice document outlining the various programs currently available via the County of San Mateo.  Check back often as we plan to keep searching for more assistance programs offered throughout the Bay Area.  If you know of any programs, please let us know through the comments.
