Picture this: you, in the cozy living room of your dream home, surrounded by the warmth of a place you can truly call your own. The Texas State Affordable Housing Corporation is on a mission to make that dream a reality for our local heroes – teachers, police and correctional officers, firefighters and EMS personnel, and veterans.

So, what's the scoop? 

The Homes for Texas Heroes Program offers down payment assistance and a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage with various rates and loan options. This means you get a helping hand to tackle the upfront costs and a mortgage that fits your budget like a glove.


Here's the icing on the cake – successful applicants can receive funds ranging from 3 to 5 percent of the total loan amount, gifted to be used for the down payment and/or closing costs associated with buying a home. Yes, you heard it right – it's a gift, not a loan. No strings attached, no repayment terms, and no need to commit to a minimum residency period. 

Let's talk about eligibility. 

If you're a Corrections Officer, County Jailer, Emergency Medical Services Personnel, Firefighter, Juvenile Corrections Officer, Military Veteran, Nursing Faculty Member, Peace Officer, or a Professional Educator – congratulations, you're in!


The Homes for Texas Heroes Program isn't just about giving you a financial boost. It's about recognizing the hard work, dedication, and sacrifices of those who keep our communities safe, educated, and healthy. We know that the road to homeownership can be paved with financial hurdles, and that's why this program is here to help you overcome them.
