Hometown Heroes Funds Become Available July 2025
If you’re a veteran or a first-time homebuyer (you haven’t owned a home and lived in it in the past 3 years), you may be eligible to receive down payment assistance for purchasing a primary residence through the Hometown Heroes Program. This Florida program offers up to $35,000 (based on last year’s numbers) in financial assistance to eligible buyers in the form of a non-amortizing, 0% interest loan/second mortgage.
In the past, the Hometown Heroes funds were only available to specific occupations, but now, they are available to all qualified veterans and first-time homebuyers who meet the program’s requirements, regardless of their profession. The buyer must meet income and credit qualifications and be working full-time for a Florida-based company.
If you’re interested, check out this video below from one of The Paulke Group’s preferred lenders, Tim Hart of VanDyk Mortgage Corporation, about the Hometown Heroes Program. The next round of funding for Hometown Heroes is coming in July, so you want to get pre-approved NOW because these funds will go fast!
If there are any issues with your pre-approval, such as your credit or income, it would be best to know now so you have time to fix the problem. You want to have your approval complete when the funds become available because, in the past, the Hometown Heroes funds have run out fairly quickly.
