Home For Heroes program offers discounts vets, local heroes.

Homes for Heroes Rapid City, SD    If you serve your country or community, you should be able to get a break when buying a home.

That is the basic premise of a new program in Rapid City that helps with home financing for military veterans, police officers, firefighters and other local service professionals.

Qualified applicants can save thousands of dollars through the new Homes for Heroes program that works with local real estate agents and related service providers to provide discounts to area heroes. A group of Minnesota-based real estate executives created the program after 9/11 as a way to give back to everyday heroes who serve their community, according to the group's website.

Philip Roy, an Air Force Technical Sergeant stationed at Ellsworth Air Force Base, and his wife, Sammy, said they saved a total of about $2,600 when they sold their home in Rapid City and moved into a new home in Box Elder.

Their new home in Creekwood Estates was about $256,000, including the cost of new fencing, Sammy said.

Although it wasn't a massive savings relative to the cost of the house, the extra $2,600 helped them fill out their home, Sammy Roy said.

"It helped us buy appliances, get some furniture and put some money into the house," she said.

"I mean $2,600 is $2,600," Philip added. "Who wouldn't want a discount when buying a home?" Read the entire article here.
