The Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta and Alabama Housing Finance Authority are seeking structured partnerships for a new Community Heroes grant funding initiative. The program seeks to keep first responders and educators in local communities by helping them purchase a home.
Community Heroes is open to law enforcement officers, firefighters, first responders, and public school educators. The program is not limited to first-time homebuyers and has flexible income limits. For every loan, FHLBAtlanta and AHFA will provide $2,000 each. They are seeking one to two other partners (lenders, nonprofits, employers, etc.) to match these funds and provide $2,000 each or $4,000 total. Funds can be used for down payment or closing costs.
