The DCHFA is not a direct mortgage lender. Instead, it makes its favorable interest rate mortgages available - to those seeking to purchase a home in the District - through a network of Participating Lenders who use the proceeds from the Agency's Mortgage Program to originate affordable mortgages to home buyers. The link provides the name and phone number(s) of the mortgage lenders that have been approved by the Agency.
It is important for the home buyer to shop for the participating lender that best fits his/her needs. In so doing, it is suggested that the home buyer ask the actual loan officer if he/she has previous experience originating DCHFA Mortgage Program loans before making a final selection of which lender to use.
