The Welcome Home Program provides loans to families that are adopting foster children or becoming legal guardians through the Department of Children and Families (DCF), the Division of Youth and Family Services (DYFS) or a state-licensed adoption agency. This program also assists housing needs of grandparents, uncles or aunts or other close relatives recognized by the Department of Human Services as qualified "Kin" who are caring for the children of relatives. The loan can be used to purchase a home or to make additions or accessibility improvements to an existing home. The program is funded through Mortgage Revenue Bonds and HMFA general funds.
