Cherry Creek Schools Staff — CHFA Schools to Home | The Kenna Real Estate Group
For Cherry Creek Schools Employees CHFA Schools to Home Program Up to 25% Down Payment Assistance Cherry Creek Schools Staff · CHFA Schools to Home

You Take Care of Cherry Creek Kids Every Day.
This Program Helps You Get Home.

Colorado created a homebuying program just for public school employees — and that means everyone who works at your school, not just teachers. It can put up to 25% of your first mortgage toward your down payment and closing costs, with no monthly payment on that money while you live in the home.

Call Now: 303-955-4220 [email protected] 25% of your first mortgage in down payment & closing cost help $0 monthly payment on the assistance while it's your home $1,000 minimum of your own money into the purchase All Staff every full-time K–12 school employee qualifies — not just classroom teachers

Who Qualifies? Probably You.

Any full-time employee of Cherry Creek Schools — or any Colorado public school district, charter or institute charter school, BOCES, or innovation zone.

Buying with a spouse or partner? Only one person on the loan has to be the school employee.

What It Looks Like in Real Life

On a $500,000 home, the program could cover as much as $100,000 of what you'd normally have to bring to closing — the money that keeps most school employees renting year after year. One conversation tells you whether you qualify. No cost, no commitment, and absolutely no pressure — whether you're buying this year or in three.

Straight Talk — This Is Not Free Money

Read This Before You Get Excited

You deserve the whole picture before you get excited. The assistance is a deferred second mortgage with a shared appreciation piece. You pay nothing monthly on it, but when you sell, refinance, pay off the first mortgage, or the home stops being your primary residence, you repay it plus an agreed share of your home's appreciation — which goes back into the Public School Permanent Fund for the next educator.

There are income and purchase price limits by county, a credit score requirement, a homebuyer education class, and it can't be stacked with other CHFA down payment programs. Sometimes a different program beats this one. We'll run both side by side and tell you the truth.
