Orlando Hometown Heroes: Zero-Interest Homebuyer Aid

Orlando residents who serve their communities may qualify for significant financial help to buy a home through the Florida Hometown Heroes Housing Program. The program provides zero-interest assistance for down payments and closing costs, aiming to make homeownership more accessible.

This initiative supports essential workers such as law enforcement officers, firefighters, healthcare professionals, educators, and active military personnel. It offers a financial bridge for individuals who may struggle with the upfront costs of purchasing a home.

Florida Realtors® developed a digital marketing toolkit to inform potential homebuyers about this resource. The toolkit aims to equip real estate agents and community organizations with materials to share information on the available assistance.

The program's aid can be used for a primary residence. Interested individuals should work with participating lenders and real estate professionals who are familiar with the program. More information on eligibility and application procedures is available through these professionals and Florida Realtors® resources.
