Relating To The Downpayment Loan Assistance Program.

January 26, 2026

Summary

If enacted, this bill would amend Hawaii's Downpayment Loan Assistance Program by removing restrictions on combined loan-to-value ratios, clarifying the Hawaii Housing Finance and Development Corporation's authority to set interest rates and waive payments, and authorizing financial institutions, mortgage lenders, and other loan originators to originate downpayment loans. It would also reduce the borrower's required personal contribution and allow loan proceeds to cover closing costs, prepaids, and reserves. The changes aim to expand access to downpayment assistance for homebuyers in Hawaii.
