I was excited at the prospect of being able to purchase a new home. But I was also skeptical, as it sounded too good to be true. But it turned out to be exactly as my son had described it.
And by the grace of God and the Recover California Homebuyer Assistance Program, I am now a proud homeowner! We received over $339,000 in ASSISTANCE! WOW!
I am still pinching myself to make sure it's real. We closed escrow in October and couldn't be happier. This was one of the happiest days of my life.
I would highly recommend this program to anyone considering it. Shasta County, February 2025 I would highly recommend this program to others. We were evacuated for a wildfire, and it was a very traumatic experience for our family...
The forgivable grant we received literally made all the difference in the world! We feel so much safer and secure, and the grant made homeownership possible for us where it would not have been otherwise. We were able to find a house that accommodates our growing family, in a far less fire-prone area with nearby fire protection, in a very nice, low-crime neighborhood.
Shasta County, November 2025 It’s hard to describe the joy of achieving something we never thought possible. Living in Napa Valley, wildfires have always been a looming fear. Thanks to RecoverCA, we were able to buy a home in a safer, low-fire-risk area, allowing us to finally feel a sense of security.
The peace of mind that comes with knowing we are in a safer place for our growing family is truly invaluable. Natalie Sheehe & Richard Sheehe III It felt like a heavy weight was lifted. Thanks to the ReCoverCA program, I am now the proud owner of a gorgeous new home in Chico, California.
Because of this program, I was not only able to afford a home outside of the high fire danger area, but a home with the most up to date fire prevention possible. Even as a single income family. Butte County, February 2025 (855) 740-8422 — Toll-free 1215 K Street, Suite 1650, Sacramento, CA 95814
