Workforce Initiative Subsidy for Homeownership (WISH)

Workforce Initiative Subsidy for Homeownership (WISH) is een kwijtscheldbare lening voor huizenkopers in Multiple County, Arizona. The Workforce Initiative Subsidy for Homeownership (WISH) Program is funded by FHLBank San Francisco and delivered locally by Housing Solutions of Northern Arizona (HSNA) as the participating member partner. WISH provides 4-to-1 matching grants up to the 2026 maximum of $32,837 (set annually by FHFA) to first-time homebuyers earning at or below 80% Area Median Income. Buyers contribute a minimum of $2,000 or 1% of the purchase price (whichever is greater); FHLBank San Francisco matches that contribution 4:1 through HSNA. The grant is recorded as a 5-year retention deed restriction that forgives 20% per year of owner-occupancy, fully forgiven after 5 years; sale, refinance with cash out, or loss of owner-occupancy during retention triggers pro-rata recapture of the unforgiven balance. WISH funds are delivered annually on a first-come, first-served basis from FHLBank San Francisco's Affordable Housing Program 35% set-aside; the 2026 nationwide allocation is $13M and may be exhausted mid-year. HSNA covers Coconino, Mohave, and Yavapai counties (and serves the broader Northern Arizona region including Apache and Navajo county clients via referral). Native applicants from Navajo, Hopi, and Hualapai communities may apply on the same terms as any other qualifying buyer; WISH is not a Native-targeted program. Up to $32,837 (2026 maximum set by FHFA) in 4-to-1 matching down payment / closing cost assistance for first-time homebuyers at or below 80% Area Median Income. Buyer's contribution (minimum $2,000 or 1% of purchase price, whichever is greater) is matched 4:1 by FHLBank San Francisco grant funds delivered through HSNA. Funds are structured as a 5-year deferred forgivable grant (recorded as a retention deed restriction) - 20% of the subsidy is forgiven for each full year of owner-occupancy, with 100% forgiven after 5 years. No monthly payments and no repayment if the household stays the full retention period. De financiering komt van FHLB en Federal.
