A new program will make it easier for first responders to purchase a home
The First Responders' Time To Own Program will provide up to $25,000 in forgivable down payment and closing cost help.
The program is available to eligible first responders with at least two years of service, which include police officers, career and volunteer firefighters and certified EMS personnel.
Applicants must also buy a home in the community they serve in.
Officials say the program is part of an effort to retain first responders and expand home ownership opportunities.
"Helping firefighters establish roots in the communities they protect is an investment in a long term sustainability of those communities and their emergency services," says North Haven Fire Chief Paul Januszewski.
The program officially launches Nov. 16.
