Ceres City Council Plans First-Time Home Buyer Program Modeled After Turlock
What happened
The Ceres City Council is interested in establishing a first-time home buyer program similar to the one used in Turlock. The program would target low- to moderate-income households and assist with gap financing, which covers the difference between a primary loan and the purchase price. Mayor Javier Lopez supports the initiative, stating it could help counter higher interest rates.

Why it matters
The program aims to provide down payment assistance using Ceres' reuse funds or the Consortium. Ceres has previously run successful homeowner programs, having recaptured close to $300,000 from past loans. This initiative represents a local effort to stimulate housing demand and support first-time buyers.
