Program Comparison Card: Boosting Lender Understanding and Participation

CHFA developed the Program Comparison Card to help our Participating Lenders navigate our complex and frequently changing single-family loan programs. CHFA program names, such as “CHFA FirstStep, CHFA HomeOpener, CHFA SmartStep, and CHFA Preferred” evoke positive emotional responses, but don’t convey loan characteristics. And to add to the complexity of the situation, CHFA has steadily increased program offerings following the “Great Recession.”

Wyoming Community Development Authority:
Pay It Forward

WCDA created a Pay it Forward video. We took two, $100 Visa Gift Cards to some of our homebuyers and they got to keep one and pay the other $100 forward however. From bringing donuts to the local Boys and Girls Club, to paying for a wonderful family’s groceries at the store, our homebuyers were extremely thoughtful on their part of our Pay it Forward donation. To top it off, we released this video during the holiday season and encouraged others to pay it forward as well.
