4. Is there a special program for police, fire fighters, teachers, corrections officers and others to help them purchase a home?

Yes, the Critical Workforce Program offers second mortgage financing to first-time home buyers who meet the program guidelines. The purpose of the program is to ensure that the county continues to have an adequate supply of workers in local jobs that are critical to the safety and well- being of our county residents. The loan cannot exceed 33% of the total purchase price or the appraised value of the home and property, whichever is less.
