Why This Grant Stands Out
True Grant (Not a Loan)
Unlike Home Now or Settlers Fund, this NEVER needs repayment. No deferred loan, no forgiveness period, no recapture on sale.
Broad Professional Eligibility
Covers teachers, nurses, police, firefighters, EMTs, civil servants, and more. Many Washington County residents qualify through their profession.
No Income Limits for Professions
If you qualify as a first responder, educator, medical professional, or civil servant, there are NO income restrictions.
Percentage-Based = Scales
3.5% of purchase price means higher-priced homes get more assistance. $400K home = $14K grant. $300K home = $10.5K grant.
