2. CalSTRS HOME LOAN PROGRAM
The CalSTRS Home Loan Program was created in 1984 and
restructured in July of 2004.
Countrywide is the Program Administrator since July of 2004.
The Program was designed to offer CalSTRS members a great
choice of mortgage loans with competitive rates, along with first-
class service.
Money Works for Pension Fund
- Borrowers can obtain a great loan with a competitive
rate—and their money works for them, since income
derived from mortgage payments goes directly into
the Teachers’ Retirement Fund.
