How the HELPER Act Benefits Police Officers

 How Does the HELPER Act Benefit   Police Officers? 

Police officers take an oath to protect and serve, and this commitment is something we are eternally grateful for. To put one’s life on the line for the safety of others is a heroic act and deserves heroic responses. 

The HELPER Act will support the police officers serving in our communities by giving them the ability to afford a home in those communities.

By offering affordable mortgage possibilities along with no down payment or monthly mortgage insurance, the HELPER Act is a true bipartisan effort to enrich the lives of our local heroes.

 Why the HELPER Act  Is Important for Police Officers

What can be done to help our law enforcement officers become homeowners? The greatest thing that can be done to show police officer appreciation during the home buying process is to alleviate some of the financial stress. The HELPER Act is designed to do just that.

Taking away the pressure that comes with saving up for a down payment and factoring in monthly mortgage insurance, the HELPER Act works similarly to a VA loan, offering law enforcement officers a better chance at buying in a competitive real estate market.

 By working to help police officers get home loans that allow them to feel secure in their budget, the HELPER Act provides the chance to feel at ease rather than on edge. Knowing that police officers are devoted to a profession that is not only stressful, but often dangerous, fuels the purpose behind this bipartisan effort.
