Florida Housing - Countdown to July 1st HTH Program Launch

Countdown to July 1^st

Hometown Heroes Program Launch

Thank you to the over 2,000 individuals who attended the Hometown Heroes Lunch & Learn trainings in the month of June. The Hometown Heroes Program (and Standard Bond & Standard TBA) will be available for Rate Lock/Reservation on July 1^st at 10:00AM ET.

Rate Locks/Reservations will not be available on July 4^th or July 5^th.

As a reminder, prior to locking any loan, the lender must have a fully executed Real Estate Purchase Contract for a specific property. The rate lock is for a borrower AND a specific property. This is not a new policy but will be enforced. At file review, if the loan was locked in the eHPortal prior to the Real Estate Purchase Contact date, there will be consequences and the loan will not be eligible for purchase.

July 1^st is right around the corner, are you prepared?
