Community Heroes Homebuyer Grant

Supporting Community Heroes in Achieving Homeownership

At First Savings, we recognize and appreciate the invaluable contributions of those who dedicate their lives to serving others. Whether you are a law enforcement officer, educator, healthcare worker, firefighter, first responder, veteran, or active-duty military member—or the surviving spouse of a service member—your commitment to the community deserves recognition and support. That’s why we’re proud to offer the HomeBoost+ Grant, a unique financial opportunity designed to make homeownership more accessible and affordable.

What Is the HomeBoost+ Grant?

The HomeBoost Grant Community Partners program, provides eligible homebuyers with up to $20,000 in financial assistance. This funding can be used to help cover:

• Down payment costs
• Closing expenses
• Rehabilitation or repair costs incurred during the home purchase process

Why Take Advantage of the HomeBoost+ Grant?

Purchasing a home is a major financial milestone, and the HomeBoost Grant can help ease the process by:

• Reducing upfront costs—making homeownership more accessible
• Lowering the principal loan balance—potentially increasing mortgage approval chances
• Expanding homebuyer options—funding is available for properties throughout the U.S. and its territories

Additionally, real estate professionals, builders, and lenders benefit from programs like HomeBoost+, as they help create new customer relationships and strengthen local communities.

Who Is Eligible?

The HomeBoost Grant is available to:

• Current or retired law enforcement officers, educators, healthcare workers, firefighters, and other first responders
• Veterans and active-duty members of the military
• Surviving spouses of eligible service members
• First-time homebuyers as well as those who have previously owned a home

To qualify, homebuyers must meet specific income eligibility requirements—earning 80% or less of the county’s area median income (AMI) or the state’s median family income, whichever is higher.

Additional Homebuyer Requirements

To receive funding through the HomeBoost+ Grant, eligible applicants must:

• Contribute at least $1,000 toward the home purchase
• Occupy the home as their primary residence
• Complete a homebuyer education and financial literacy course
