HOMETOWN HEROES (HTH)

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!

Florida Housing’s Hometown Heroes (HTH) Loan Program continues to be a highly successful program, assisting many eligible first-time borrowers who live and work in Florida. As a result of its success, HTH funds are going fast. Since we launched HTH 2.0 on July 3, 2023, offering an additional $100MM in new assistance, we now have over $51MM committed. We anticipate HTH funds will be fully committed in the next 4-6 weeks. It is not clear when additional funding may become available for this program, but it is unlikely this will happen in the near future.

Remember that FL Housing offers additional down payment assistance options through our standard BOND and TBA Programs. FHA, USDA-RD, VA, Fannie Mae (HFA Preferred) and Freddie Mac (HFA Advantage) first mortgage options will continue to be offered in these Programs.

 We encourage you to review these first mortgage programs and the down payment assistance they offer. You can find more information on these two continuously funded Programs in their respective Lender Guide located here.

Thank you all for your continued support of our Homebuyer Loan Program.
