(Call 626-570-5037 if you need an application in Spanish or Chinese). 
  
If your answers indicate you meet the necessary income and other
requirements, print and complete the Pre-Qualification Worksheet. Mail it
to the City of Alhambra-Housing Division, 111 S. First St., Alhambra, CA
91801, or drop it off at the Development Services Department to obtain
a formal First-Time Homebuyer's application.
  
STEP
TWO

Submit Completed First-Time Homebuyer's Application with All
Supporting Documentation. It is important to submit all documents

workshop to become knowledgeable about the homebuying process.
 
STEP
THREE

Find a Home You Are Interested In and Make an Offer. Search for a
lender, a realtor or broker and begin shopping for your home! Prior to
making an offer, contact the City of Alhambra Housing Division for a
thorough inspection of the property. 
 
STEP
FOUR 

Open Escrow.

Once your offer has been accepted, you'll need to request a Certified
Home Inspection and provide a copy of the report to the City of Alhambra-Housing Division. Receipt of the First-Time Homebuyer Agreement
reserving City funds will be provided only after the applicant has
submitted all proper documentation.
