While few Americans expected that COVID-19 could have affected the nation as dramatically as it has, our teachers have continually proven their ability to adapt and respond creatively to these unexpected events. Even during such unprecedented times, their dedication to keeping Texas children healthy, educated, and engaged demonstrates why so many children are inspired by their educators.
We’re inspired too. It’s why we’ve honored Texas teachers through our Homes for Texas Heroes program since its inception in 2003. The program provides down payment assistance and mortgage interest tax credits to help teachers and other Texas Heroes buy a home in the community they serve.
Now more than ever our teachers should know that when it comes to realizing the dream of homeownership, we’re here to help.
And it’s not only teachers that are eligible for the program. Teacher aides, school librarians, school counselors, and school nurses working full-time in a K-12 public school in Texas are also eligible for home buying assistance.
Our Homes for Texas Heroes program offers multiple options, so Texas Heroes can select the option that works best for their own plan. Program benefits include:
