Thank you for joining us for the Florida Housing Hometown Heroes Lunch & Learn webinar. We appreciate your participation and the excellent questions that helped make the session so valuable.

Here are a few of the most important reminders:

• Only one occupying borrower must meet the Hometown Heroes eligibility requirements.
• Remote employees are not eligible. Hybrid employees may qualify if they report to a Florida work location at least three days per week.
• Eligibility depends on both the occupation and the employer/facility, so always verify where the borrower works and reports.
• Documentation matters. Be sure the file includes the required Hometown Heroes Borrower Certification(signed by the qualifying borrower) and the appropriate employment documentation.
• For self-employed borrowers, carefully review the program requirements regarding 1099 employment, one qualifying employer, and a Florida brick-and-mortar work location.
• Current reservations in the Standard Bond or Standard TBA programs cannot be canceled and moved into the Hometown Heroes Program.
