Bloomington, IN encourages firefighters to live in the city with its housing incentives pilot

Bloomington, IN Firefighters Live in City Housing Incentives

In Progress

Firefighters qualify for $750 per month in rental assistance from their first day of work under the program. The program also provides up to $18,000 in down payment assistance for home purchases within city limits after a probationary period. Reductions in housing costs support recruitment, reduce travel times to fire stations, and increase community connections. City officials are funding the program with COVID-19 recovery funds and revenue from a new income tax.
