The claim: Kamala Harris’ down payment assistance plan excludes relatives of homebuyers

A Sept. 27 Facebook post (direct link, archive link) makes a claim about the details of one of Vice President Kamala Harris’s economic proposals.

“The fine print on Harris’s 25K for first time home buyers; if your mother, father, brother, sister has ever owned a home you are NOT eligible,” reads text in the post's image, a screenshot of a TikTok post. “Pretty much a program exclusively for illegals, and YOU’RE going to pay for it.”

Harris’s campaign has said her proposal would provide up to $25,000 in down payment assistance to first-time homebuyers who paid their rent on time for two years. There is no evidence the program would be limited to people whose parents and siblings haven’t owned a home.
