Referred to the House Committee on Financial Services.

HELPER Act of 2025
Creates a new FHA mortgage insurance program that helps first responders buy homes by offering FHA-insured loans with no required down payment and a single up-front insurance premium. Borrowers must complete housing counseling and meet FHA underwriting standards, and the program is funded and time-limited by the statute.
The law defines who counts as a first responder, sets eligibility and premium rules, authorizes specific funding for the new program, and limits how long the Secretary may make new insurance commitments under the program.
