The Florida Hometown Heroes Housing (HTH) Program makes homeownership affordable for eligible workforce occupations. This program provides down payment and closing cost assistance to first-time, income-qualified homebuyers so they can purchase a primary residence in the community in which they work and serve. The Florida Hometown Heroes Loan Program also offers a lower first mortgage interest rate and additional special benefits to those who have served and continue to serve their country.
Applications for this program reopened on August 18th. Visit the Florida Housing Finance Corporation's website for more details on how to apply: https://www.floridahousing.org/live-local-act/hometown-heroes-program
