Where do these fund numbers come from?

Expand
Collapse

The fund totals come directly from Florida Housing, which manages the Hometown Heroes Program. We manually track official updates, which periodically, and monitor fund drops throughout the week. The remaining balance shown here reflects the most current estimate available.

How often is this fund meter updated?

Expand
Collapse

We update this page several times per week, and sometimes multiple times per day when large batches of loans are reserved. While not live-synced, it’s one of the most accurate public indicators of current Hometown Heroes funding availability in Florida.

What happens when the funds run out?

Expand
Collapse

Once the funds are depleted, new reservations are no longer accepted, even if you're already pre-approved. That’s why it’s critical to lock in your eligibility early and get under contract on a home before the money is gone.

The sooner you act, the better your chances!
