The California Legislature passed a bill Wednesday that will make illegal immigrants eligible for a state program that subsidizes down payments for first-time, first-generation homebuyers.
Assembly Bill 1840 would allow undocumented immigrants to receive up to $150,000 in down-payment assistance from the California Housing Finance Agency's (CalHFA) Dream For All program, provided they meet all the program's existing eligibility criteria and have a Social Security number or an individual taxpayer identification number.
