HOMETOWN HEROES (HTH)

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!


 

Please be advised that the Hometown Heroes Program funds are very close to being fully committed. If your loan is already locked, this will have no impact on your lock. Please proceed as normal to close your loan. 

 

If you have not locked yet, please, only reserve funds that will meet the timelines (60 days from reservation to loan purchase), this includes closing, compliance approval, and purchase. Extensions are NOT for extending loan closing. You must have a contract, qualified borrower and a closing date that will meet the 60 day timeline.

 

Once funds are fully committed we will stop taking reservations. As a reminder, the Florida Housing Bond and TBA Programs will STILL be available.

 

Will there be a waitlist? No, starting Tuesday, September 5th and every other Tuesday after that, the system will open to allow new Hometown Hero locks on accumulated fallout dollars. This is first-come, first-served.

 

Can I cancel and loan and switch out a borrower? No, canceled loans will not be replaced with a new lock.

 

Where can I see the available HTH Assistance?  Click on this link to view the available HTH Assistance allocation.  As a reminder, all Florida Housing Programs are available Monday - Friday, excluding holidays, 10:00 AM - 8:00 PM ET.

 

When will more HTH funds become available?  We hope that we will receive an appropriation in the 2024 session to offer the HTH Program in 2024.

 

Thank you for your continued support of the Florida Housing Programs.
