Eligible Florida workers may qualify for up to 5% of the first mortgage amount—minimum $10,000 and maximum $35,000—toward down payment and closing costs.
Potentially eligible groups include healthcare workers, school staff, first responders, public-safety and court employees, childcare workers, active military members, reservists and eligible veterans.
The assistance is a 0%, non-amortizing, 30-year deferred second mortgage. It is not forgivable and becomes due upon sale, refinancing, deed transfer or when the home is no longer the borrower’s primary residence.
