Relating to the eligibility of social workers for the Homes for Texas Heroes home loan program.

SB 845 expands eligibility for Texas' Homes for Texas Heroes home loan program to include social workers who meet other program requirements. The bill amends the Government Code to explicitly list "social worker" as a qualifying profession alongside firefighters, police officers, educators, and veterans. To qualify, applicants must be Texas residents with income at or below 115% of the area median family income (or the IRS maximum), and intend the home as their primary residence. This change directly affects licensed social workers in Texas seeking low-interest home loans through the program.
