With the shortage of affordable housing in San Francisco. SFHDC is providing a much needed service by offering its Homebuyer Education Program that assist with the confusing world of federal, state, and local down payment assistance. First, I attended their 1st time homebuyers workshop and everything became clear with the follow up counseling they provided. With their help I was able to buy my first home in San Francisco. Kudos to SFHDC!!!
