Bakersfield Down Payment Assistance

Program Overview

The City of Bakersfield first-time home buyer down payment assistance program through the City Government was not available as of last review in January 2018.  It is not uncommon for local assistance programs to be replaced by State wide programs.

If funds are no longer available, or you are unable to meet the qualifications for this assistance program, there are other options that may be available to you.

California home buyers should also explore Mortgage Credit Certificates, CRA Programs, Lender/Agent Credits or other creative down payment and closing cost assistance options.
