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.
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.
