## Resource

Maryland’s Governor Wes Moore just launched a bold new program: “First Homes for First Responders and Teachers,” offering discounted mortgages, down payment help, and closing cost support to firefighters, police, 911 dispatchers, and educators buying their first home. With rates half a percentage point lower than standard Maryland Mortgage Program rates and up to 5% in financial aid, this initiative targets those who serve our communities—making homeownership more attainable and honoring their lifelong commitment. Applications opened September 4th, and it’s part of a broader push to strengthen Maryland’s economy by investing directly in the backbone of public service.
