Homebuying assistance for those who serve our communities

You give so much to your community—now let us give back to you. Through the Virginia Housing Community Heroes Grant, eligible first-time homebuyers can receive $10,000 in grant funds to help cover down payment and closing costs. These funds are forgivable, meaning they don't have to be repaid.

Qualifying Professions:

This grant is available for current or retired professionals in the following fields:

  • Educators and school personnel
  • Childcare workers
  • Healthcare workers
  • Law enforcement officers, firefighters and other first responders
  • Military, Veterans, Coast Guard, National Guard and Reservists

Here's how it works:

  1. Be a first-time homebuyer working in or retired from one of the qualifying professions listed above
  2. Finance your home with a Virginia Housing loan
  3. Meet Virginia Housing income, home sales price and loan limits
  4. Receive $10,000 toward down payment or closing costs

Additional details:

  • Grant funds do not require repayment
  • Only one borrower needs to qualify as a Community Hero
  • Can be combined with other Virginia Housing and non-Virginia Housing assistance programs
  • Requires completion of the Community Heroes Certification before closing
