Downpayment assistants in the news:
Tracy retools its loan program

Published Tuesday, Oct 3, 2006

So last week, the city upped the income qualifications to allow people with higher incomes to use the program. Now a family of four that makes up to $68,500, or 120 percent of the county's median income, can obtain $75,000 to put down on a house.

Under the new requirements, a buyer likely could qualify for a loan on a $375,000 home. However, the loan program also limits the buyer to homes in the city's 3-mile-wide downtown redevelopment area.
