Housing for Heroes Act of 2023

The Housing for Heroes Act of 2023 expands eligibility for HUD's Good Neighbor Next Door program to include active-duty military members, firefighters, and law enforcement officers. It removes the requirement that properties must be located in designated "revitalization areas" for these groups to purchase homes under the program. HUD must update its regulations to implement this change, allowing eligible individuals to buy single-family homes nationwide without location restrictions. This directly affects those three professions by broadening their access to affordable housing opportunities through an existing federal program. The bill makes a concrete policy change to the program's eligibility rules, not to housing prices or availability.
