In partnership with the Sun Valley Realtor Gives Community Housing Fund, BCCF will â€‹â€‹be providing workforce housing assistance by bridging the gap in a buyer’s down payment, buying down an interest rate to make a loan more affordable, or contributing towards closing costs.

​

In order to be qualified at least one non-dependent member of the household must be a qualified local, full-time employee (working a minimum of 1,500 hours a year in Blaine County for one or more organizations physically operating in the county). Current or potential homeowners may also qualify if they are a retired Blaine County resident over the age of 65 who formerly worked full time in the county, have a disability, is a schoolteacher in Blaine County, actively serve in the military, or are self-employed and have a business that serves clients and customers in Blaine County.  Other requirements include:

​

  • Assistance must be used for the purchase of a primary home in Blaine County

  • The assistance cannot be used for the purchase of a second home or investment property

​

DEADLINE TO APPLY: BCCF reviews completed applications received once a month on the 20th.   Special considerations can be taken into account.  Please include details in your application narrative. 

​

A complete request includes: 

  • A Down Payment Assistance request form;

  • Proof of full time employment or other qualifying definition;

  • Purchase & sale agreement, or closing statement from lending institution*;

  • A phone or in person consultation with a BCCF Family Care Coordinator​

 

* Applications for assistance should only be made once a property is under contract and a lending institution has been engaged so the applicant has a clear understanding on the costs needed to complete the transaction.  Grant awards are not intended to be used a negotiation and are never guaranteed.
