AI Summary

  • Prohibits homebuyers from receiving multiple state-funded down payment assistance loans or grants, limiting each buyer to one offer from programs under RCW 43.79.567, 43.185A.140, or 43.181.040

  • Addresses the practice of "stacking" multiple down payment assistance programs, which the legislature finds has reduced the overall reach of these limited public investments

  • Applies the restriction across three existing programs: the community reinvestment account, the housing trust fund, and the covenant homeownership program (which provides assistance to address racial homeownership disparities)

  • Homebuyers who apply for assistance under multiple state-funded programs or for multiple grants/loans under one program are only eligible to accept one state-funded offer

  • Aims to expand homeownership access to more first-time buyers by distributing limited resources across a greater number of qualified applicants
