Officer Next Door Program

HUD's Officer Next Door program offers HUD-owned, single family homes to law enforcement officers at a 50 percent discount. Its goal is to to prevent crime and promote neighborhood safety and security by encouraging law enforcement officers to become homeowners and residents in economically distressed communities. 

Under the program, HUD offers homes located in designated revitalization areas. Revitalization areas are typically in low- and moderate-income neighborhoods, have many vacant properties and often have high crime rates, but are considered good candidates for economic development and improvement. 

Homes offered for sale in the program were previously insured through the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and then foreclosed. HUD also reduces the down payment requirement to just $100 if the home is purchased with an FHA insured mortgage. 

Officers must live in the property as their sole residence for at least three years after purchase. A law enforcement officer who is employed full-time by a federal, state, county or municipal government and is sworn to uphold, and make arrests for violations of federal, state, county or municipal laws is eligible to participate in this program.
