OUR PARTNERS
BECOME A LENDER
We would love to partner with lenders who want to work with DCHFA and our homebuyer products. Please download the our approval process document and follow the steps below to become an approved participating lender.
1) ATTEND DC OPEN DOORS LENDER TRAINING
Please attend our DC Open Doors Lender Training. Training is a combination of a webinar and a hosted conference call. Lender Training is approximately two hours and it is required for all newly approved lenders. DCHFA will offer lender specific training webinars primarily dealing with post-closing issues for those lenders that request it or are identified by either DC Open Doors or Lakeview Servicing as needing it. Each participant must register individually so user credentials can be provided.
2) FILL OUT AND SUBMIT DOCUMENTS
3) AWAIT APPROVAL
DCHFA will review the submitted documentation within 5 business days and provide the lender with written approval to participate in its mortgage program(s) or feedback regarding the submission. DCHFA’s written approval may be provided via electronic mail. The lender must also be an approved correspondent lender with Lakeview Servicing before it can participate in DCHFA’s mortgage program(s).

*Due to continued market volatility, pricing for some DPA options has been unavailable in the market. As a result, DCHFA may not be able to offer a rate for that day. Our ability to continue to offer these DPA options will depend on daily pricing and market conditions, so we encourage you to check our website and lender portal daily. We appreciate your continued participation in our programs and ask for your patience as we continue to monitor market conditions. We understand that the unavailability of these options may have caused difficulty for some borrowers who were counting on the additional DPA. We will make adjustments as needed to continue to provide the best down payment assistance programs for borrowers.
