Legislative Wins
The Realtor® voice was responsible for numerous victories during the 2024 Legislative Session that will benefit the profession, property owners, and communities throughout Florida.
Hometown Heroes
One of the largest advocacy successes this year came from a $100 million infusion of funding into the Hometown Heroes Housing Program. Since 2021, this highly successful first-time homebuying program has helped more than 14,000 hard-working Floridians buy their first home. This additional funding will help thousands more when the money becomes available after July 1, 2024.
