"Everyone deserves to be a part of a neighborhood that provides a sense of belonging and security," said Jayma Banks, Senior Vice President of Housing Initiatives. "Putting a down payment on a home remains one of the largest barriers to homeownership. We're dedicated to developing unique solutions to overcome the challenges faced by first-time homebuyers, giving individuals the opportunity to build strong roots in the communities they desire."

In 2023, CCM established a Housing Initiatives team focused on identifying ways CCM can provide affordable and equitable solutions to enhance access to sustainable homeownership for first-time homebuyers, minority homebuyers, and underrepresented communities.

CCM offers multiple down payment assistance programs with varying eligibility requirements including:

  • Freddie Mac BorrowSmart AccessSM: An option that provides up to $4,000 in down payment assistance based on Area Median Income (AMI) and other eligibility criteria. It is available in select MSAs across the United States.
  • CCM Smart Start: A program for first-time homebuyers that covers up to $5,250 of their down payment.
  • CCM Community Promise: A program that provides $6,500 in down payment assistance to first-time homebuyers who live in qualifying neighborhoods in select cities.

CCM also has a digital, educational experience for first-time homebuyers that walks consumers step-by-step through the homebuyer process. The tool offers a comprehensive mortgage calculator, an option to easily connect with a nearby loan officer, and a library of real stories from other first-time homebuyers to learn about shared experiences.
