Benefits For First Responders And Teachers

The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), understands the sacrifices teachers, emergency medical technicians, firefighters, and police officers make each day. Because of these sacrifices, the HUD’s Good Neighbor Next Door Program was created specifically for those of us in these professions.

What Is HUD?

The Department Of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), was established on November 9, 1965, under President Lyndon B. Johnson’s War on Poverty. HUD was created as a Cabinet Department under the Department of Housing and Urban Development Act, and it combined various other older federal agencies. 

HUD supports families by creating programs and policies to help them find affordable quality homes. Some of HUD’s programs include: 

– Community Development Block Grants – Federal Housing Assistance Program – Fair Housing Initiatives Program – HOME Investment Partnership Act – HOPE VI Program – Section 8 Rental Assistance – Good Neighbor Next Door Program.

The Good Neighbor Next Door Program

The Good Neighbor Next Door Program (GNNDP) is a plan that has been put into place to assist law enforcement officers, firefighters, teachers, and emergency medical technicians with the purchase of affordable and suitable homes. 

Who Qualifies For The Good Neighbor Next Door Program?

Law enforcement, teachers, firefighters, and emergency technicians all qualify to be a part of the GNND program. 

What Is A HUD Home?

A HUD home is a property that came into the possession of the Department of Housing and Urban Development at some point during the foreclosure process. Most of the foreclosed homes that come into HUD’s possession are a result of a delinquent Federal Housing Administration (FHA) mortgage loan. 

Do All HUD Homes Qualify For The Good Neighbor Next Door Program?

No, every HUD home does not qualify for the GNNDP. All HUD homes that qualify for the Good Neighbor Next Door Program must be single-family homes located in revitalization areas.
