Florida Hometown Heroes
Effective June 1st, 2022 The Hometown Heroes (HTH) Housing Program makes housing affordable for eligible “frontline” workers, educators, police officers, healthcare providers, childcare, firefighters, nurses, military personnel, and others by providing down payment and closing cost assistance to qualified homebuyers. The Florida Hometown Heroes Loan Program offers a lower first mortgage rate AND additional special benefits to those who currently serve their communities and those who have served and continue to serve their country.
