Learn about FirstHome Dream and the upcoming Community Heroes Grant today! ##### **FirstHome Dream** FirstHome Dream is a program developed to support first-time, first-generation home buyers. Rather than a stand-alone program, this program is layered on top of Virginia Housing existing programs to**substantially reduce the interest rate**for qualified borrowers.
First-generation is defined as: * Borrowers and co-borrowers who have never owned a home of any kind, * The spouse of the borrower has never owned a home (even if not a borrower), and * The borrowers’ parents have not owned a home in the last three years. This program supports borrowers who**have not been afforded the opportunity to build generational wealth through homeownership**.
Approved Virginia Housing lenders can access this program through a sponsor network that includes sponsors located throughout the commonwealth.
##### **Virginia Housing Community Heroes Grant** The Virginia Housing Community Heroes Grant(which is currently in development)is a grant program to support community heroes—which includes**first responders, law enforcement, healthcare workers, educators, and military service members**—to achieve the dream of homeownership. Community heroes are often challenged with achieving homeownership in the communities they serve.
This is primarily due to the cost of housing and other financial barriers,such as down payment and closing costs. The Virginia Housing Community Heroes Grant aims to support eligible borrowers on their path to homeownership in the communities they serve. For more information about these housing grants and more, visitthe Virginia Housing websiteor contactGrants@VirginiaHousing.
