Teacher Next Door® Reaffirms Housing Grants for Educators Despite Department of Education Budget Cuts

Next Door Programs® Ensures Continued Support for Teachers with Grants and Down Payment Assistance

TAMPA BAY, FL, UNITED STATES, April 8, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In response to recent budget cuts at the U.S. Department of Education and other federal agencies, Teacher Next Door^1® is reassuring educators nationwide that its mission and funding remain unaffected. A cornerstone of the Next Door Programs^® family, Teacher Next Door continues to provide vital homebuying assistance to teachers and school staff—including non-repayable grants up to $8,000 and down payment assistance up to $15,000.

"Teachers are the backbone of our communities, and we’re standing strong with them—regardless of what’s happening in Washington,” said Stephen Parks, National Director of Next Door Programs. “No federal budget cuts will affect the assistance we provide to help educators achieve the dream of homeownership.”

Affordable Housing for America’s Educators

Through Teacher Next Door, eligible participants can:

• Purchase any home on the market with no restrictions on location or property type.
• Receive up to $8,000 in non-repayable home buying grants.
• Access down payment assistance up to $15,000.
• Benefit from special low-interest loan programs tailored to educators.
• Enjoy personalized home buying support from licensed professionals.

As housing prices rise and lending requirements tighten, teachers often find themselves priced out of the communities they serve. Teacher Next Door is working to change that—one home at a time.

Real Stories from Real Teachers

Thousands of educators have successfully purchased homes through the program.

“I would definitely recommend Teacher Next Door for our co-workers and friends. We found the perfect home for us just in time for the school year to begin. We were able to close quickly and the grant money definitely helped us get into our home without spending more than we could afford!” — Sarah and Matthew Brady, 4th Grade Teacher, Stafford, NJ

Nationwide Support That Won’t Waver

As the largest national home buying program for educators, Next Door Programs^® remains committed to helping teachers, administrators, and school staff navigate today’s challenging housing market.

Next Door Programs^® also proudly supports other public service professionals, with dedicated programs available for nurses², law enforcement officers, firefighters, government employees³, and military families. Each program offers the same commitment to affordability, access, and personalized guidance to help these essential workers achieve homeownership.

“Teachers dedicate their lives to building brighter futures for our children,” said James Hadley, Director of Operations. “We’re proud to offer them real support, with no hidden fees or gimmicks—just a clear path to homeownership.”
