Florida Hometown Heroes Program Helps Working Floridians Achieve Homeownership

Updated: Aug 17, 2023




The Florida Hometown Heroes Program is a down payment assistance program that helps eligible first-time homebuyers purchase a home in the community where they work and serve. The program is open to all working Floridians, not just frontline heroes.


The program provides up to $35,000 in down payment assistance, which can be used to help homebuyers cover the upfront costs of buying a home, such as closing costs, appraisal fees, and points. The program also offers reduced upfront fees, no origination points or discount points, and lower than market interest rates on an FHA, VA, RD, Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac first mortgage.
