BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - Frontline workers could be eligible to buy a home at a deep discount.
The goal of this program is two-fold. It aims to provide homes to frontline workers at a 50 percent discount while revitalizing communities around the country.
According to USA Today Money, eligible participants can buy homes at 50 percent off the current appraised value.
For example, if a home appraises for $300,000, the buyer will pay $150,000. The other half becomes a âsilentâ second mortgage that is forgiven after 36 months of living in that home.
