That includes calls and texts made with automated technology or a prerecorded voice. I do not have to agree to this to buy anything. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out.

The county figure in step 4 is CHFA's FirstStep limit. Schools To Home uses a $178,920 statewide limit and Colorado Champions uses $196,810, so you may still fit if you're above it. A CHFA participating lender will call to confirm your employer, income and whether Schools To Home funds are available.
