Let me tell you a quick story…

I was catching up on housing news over breakfast — nothing too exciting, I thought. But then I read this headline:👉 "Florida Senate Proposes Cutting Hometown Heroes Funding in Half."

My heart dropped.

This program — which has helped thousands of first responders, teachers, healthcare workers, and everyday community heroes — might go from $100 million… down to just $50 million. 💸

That’s not just a number. That’s fewer people getting help with down payments. That’s families waiting for the green light… who may never get it.

I’ve personally seen how powerful this program is. It has helped clients who thought they’d have to wait years — become homeowners this year.

But here’s the truth:💥 Once the funds are gone, they’re gone.

No extensions. No waitlists. Just “sorry, the budget ran out.”

So if you’re reading this and you think you might qualify — or you know someone who should apply — please don’t wait. Talk to a trusted real estate pro (or reach out to me) and make your move now.

Because in real estate, timing really is everything.
