Florida Sen. Moody announces HELPER Act to help first responders, LEOs buy homes
TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — Florida Senator Ashley Moody is sponsoring a bipartisan bill aimed at helping first responders, law enforcement, and teachers buy a home.
On Thursday, Florida sheriffs and deputies stood by her side in support as she shared the details about the bill at the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office Jail Assembly Room in Tampa.

Senator Moody says she's working hard to carry out a political promise.
'Supporting the men and women in blue, green, tan has been incredibly important,' Moody said.
She introduced her first piece of legislation two months into her term in Washington D.C.
'My first bill is the HELPER Act, which is going to help these men and women who volunteer for these jobs buy homes in the communities they love,' Moody said.
The Homes for Every Local Protector, Educator, and Responder (HELPER) Act of 2025 would let teachers, firefighter, law enforcement, and medical first responders join a new loan program.
It would give eligible recipients a one-time, upfront mortgage insurance premium without needing a down payment first.
