Is there a special mortgage for public servants in NJ? My husband is a full-time EMT. My research keeps turning up loans in other states that offer public servants lower closing costs and interest rates, but nothing in NJ besides Bank of America's Neighborhood Champions mortgage. That doesn't seem to offer the low closing costs and rates, but it does include Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance. Does anybody know of other options for us to look into?

New Jersey's Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency used to have a special loan program for police and fire fighters. This is no longer available. The HMFA does has a program called Live Where You Work (LWYW). It provides low interest loans to persons purchasing a home in the town where they work. Follow this link for more information.

FIRST ANSWER

The only public servant loans I am aware of is for police/fire, I am not sure if that extends to EMS. The best programs I have found were through the unions, I am a former Corrections Officer, and my PBA provided me with the contact. If your husband has a union, I would contact the union rep. If you have any questions or if I can help you find you next home, please call or email me. Thank you and good luck!
