House Key Schools Program is a down payment assistance second mortgage loan program with a 3.00% interest rate and a ten-year loan term for teachers and employees of community or technical colleges and K-12 public or private schools that are accredited or recognized by the state of Washington.  House Key Schools combines with the House Key State Bond first mortgage loan program. 

  • Borrowers must be first-time homebuyers or buying in a targeted area.
  • Borrowers must meet the acquisition cost and income limits for the House Key Program first mortgage. 

MAXIMUM INCOME LIMITS

  • Clark/Skamania Counties: $72,000
  • King/Snohomish Counties: $86,800
  • Kitsap/Thurston Counties:  $74,500
  • All Other Counties: $71,900

Borrowers must attend a Commission-sponsored homebuyer seminar prior to reserving funds under the House Key Program.   Cash back to borrowers is not allowed.

HOW MUCH CAN YOU BORROW?

Eligible households may qualify for a maximum loan amount of up to $10,000.

A House Key participating loan officer can help you determine an acquisition price you can afford, how much cash you will need to close, and how much you can borrow on a House Key Schools loan.
