AB 1840, which already passed the Assembly and now faces a floor vote in the Senate, would prevent the state's California Dream for All Shared Appreciation Loans program from denying individuals on the basis of their immigration status. This program allows applicants to secure "loans" of up to 20% of the home's purchase price " or, about what a typical down payment is " with zero down payment on this state loan, and no payments. The state's "loan" can potentially be repaid to the state when the home is refinanced, sold, or transferred, with the borrower paying back the original loan amount plus 20% of any increase in value on the property. It's not clear what happens if a family decides to hold on to a home as there are no provisions on how long a property can be held for, which means certain kinds of trusts could potentially allow the loan to not be paid back.
