Providing Access To Homeownership (PATH) Grant Program

FirstBank has continued its partnership with the Colorado Housing and Finance Authority (CHFA) to supply PATH (Providing Access to Homeownership) grants for down payment and closing cost assistance throughout Colorado. PATH offers first-time homebuyers who identify as Black or African American and meet certain income requirements the resources needed to obtain a home. As a result, FirstBank and CHFA have provided over $2.6 million in grants and helped over 160 Black/African American families become homeowners. In 2023, FirstBank was awarded a $1 million grant from Colorado Health Foundation to continue to fund the program through 2023 and help an additional 100 families realize the dream of homeownership. Additionally in 2023, FirstBank committed an additional $250,000 in funds to launch the PATH Arizona Grant program to expand opportunities for homeownership in Arizona.
