Designed specifically for frontline workers and essential community members, this program is making homeownership more accessible than ever in our region.

What is the Hometown Heroes Program?

The Hometown Heroes program was created to give back to those who serve our communities—think teachers, nurses, law enforcement officers, firefighters, and many more. If you work in one of these vital roles in Northeast Florida, you may be eligible for substantial down payment and closing cost assistance when buying your first home.

How Does the Assistance Work?

Qualified buyers can receive up to 5% of the loan amount (up to $35,000) to help cover down payment and closing costs. This financial boost can make the difference between waiting and moving into your own home sooner. Plus, the program works with a variety of loan types, so there’s flexibility to match your unique situation.
