Hometown Heroes 2025: The perfect opportunity to buy your first home in Florida

If you've been waiting for the perfect time to buy your first property in Florida... that time has come.

The Hometown Heroes program reactivates in July, and if you qualify, you could receive up to $35,000 in financial assistance to achieve that dream that seemed so far away.

But... what exactly is this program and how can you take advantage of it?

 What is the Hometown Heroes program?

It is an initiative of the state of Florida that seeks to help first-time homebuyers access their own home by providing financial support for down payment and closing costs.

Originally intended for essential workers, it is now open to MANY more state residents who meet certain basic requirements.

Program benefits:

• Up to $35,000 in financial assistance (non-refundable in many cases)
• Lower interest rates than on a conventional loan
• Access to properties without having to wait years saving for a down payment
• Applies to different types of loans (FHA, VA, USDA and Conventional)
•  Allows you to build wealth and stability now

Basic requirements:

• Be a first time homebuyer 2.
• Be employed in Florida (no matter if public or private sector)
• Have a credit score of at least 640.
• Meet the income limits established by county.
• Participate in an approved homebuyer course.

 When does it start?

The program officially reactivates in July, but you can start preparing now so you don't miss out. Remember that funds are limited and are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, so if you wait until the last minute, you could miss out.
