Home Loan Programs

Home Loan Program Update

In January 2025, UC Davis received additional funding to support individuals whose active home loan authorizations were paused in fall 2024. In addition, we are also planning to accept new nominations for eligible candidates this summer. Thank you for your patience throughout this process.

Welcome!

We're thrilled to have you here and excited to help you navigate the campus's processes for securing home loans. Whether you're a current or incoming employee, we understand the importance of finding a place you can call home.

At UC Davis, we believe that housing should never be a barrier to pursuing your educational, research, and public service goals. That's why we offer a range of housing assistance programs designed to support you in finding the perfect home.

We understand that the journey of applying for a home loan can sometimes be overwhelming, but don't worry! Dedicated staff from UC Davis' Real Estate Services as well as your departmental representative, are here to guide you every step of the way. To help, UC Davis offers a variety of home loan options:
