UC Davis has been working together with the University of California Office of the President, or UCOP, to evaluate new approaches to make housing more affordable. These efforts led to the development of a Zero Interest Program Loan, or ZIP loan. These loans are primarily intended to be a recruitment tool to help our campus build a diverse new generation of faculty and is expected to help recruit assistant professors as well as difficult to fill academic positions.

The Supplemental Home Loan Program, or SHLP, was established to provide below-market-rate secondary financing to assist eligible faculty members and members of senior management in the acquisition of a principal place of residence.

UC Davis SHLP loans may only be used in conjunction with the University’s Mortgage Origination Program (MOP) loans to reduce the cash down payment required to as low as five percent.
