What Colorado buyer assistance is modeled?
The state file models CHFA down payment assistance as a conservative flat planning amount for eligible first-time buyers purchasing a primary residence. Program caps, income limits, and participating lenders change, so treat the modeled benefit as educational and confirm current CHFA terms before counting assistance in your cash-to-close budget.
