(WFSB) - A program to help first responders become first time homeowners launches next week.Gov. Ned Lamont said his administration aims to make it easier for Connecticut first responders to get a home through expanded eligibility, reduced interest rates, and more flexible program requirements.Lamont called it the “First Responders Time to Own” program.He said it’s for police officers, firefighters, and emergency medical service personnel. They can get up to $25,000 in a forgivable down payment and closing cost help.“Connecticut’s police officers, firefighters, and EMS personnel dedicate themselves to protecting our families and communities, and we want to make sure they have the opportunity to build their own futures here,” Lamont said. “By helping reduce one of the biggest barriers to buying a home, we’re investing in the people who serve our state and the communities that depend on them.”The program officially launches on Nov. 16.State officials said that to qualify, applicants must purchase a home in the community where they serve and use it as their primary residence.“Access to affordable homeownership is an important part of building strong, stable communities,” said Seila Mosquera-Bruno, Connecticut Housing commissioner. “This program recognizes the commitment of our first responders while helping them establish roots in the communities they serve. It’s another way we’re working to make Connecticut a place where more people can afford to live, work, and build a future.”More information about the program can be read here.</div></body>
