Culinary and Bartenders Housing Partnership

New Housing Benefit for Culinary and Bartender Workers!

If you are a worker covered by the Culinary and Bartenders' union contract, then you are eligible for a new housing benefit that helps gaming workers obtain the dream of homeownership. Established as a result of the 2007 collective bargaining agreement, the new Culinary and Bartenders Housing Partnership provides homebuyer education and counseling, workshops on foreclosure prevention, and first-time homebuyer down payments loans.

The State of Nevada Housing Division has joined with the Culinary and Bartenders Housing Partnership to provide up to $20,000 in loans for a down payment on a home.
Key Elements of the program include:

• The loan has a zero-percent interest rate and is repayable when you sell or refinance your home.
• You must live in the house you buy (no second homes or vacation homes).
• You must contribute 1% of the purchase price of the home.
• Your household income cannot exceed $76,680 for a 1-2 person household, or $89,460 for a household with three or more persons.
• You must complete an 8 hour homebuyer education course.
• You must qualify for a home mortgage from a lender.
• Funds for this down payment assistance program are limited. Down payment loans will be approved for qualified buyers on a first-come, first-serve basis.
