The local picture

Laredo, Rio Bravo and El Cenizo are the main local communities. Laredo ISD, United ISD and Webb CISD employ full-time teachers, aides, librarians, counselors and school nurses who may qualify.

Laredo Police Department officers and Webb County Sheriff's Office deputies qualify with a TCOLE license. Laredo Fire Department firefighters qualify through TCFP certification.

The program doesn't require you to be a first-time buyer, so a Laredo officer trading up to a bigger home can still use the down payment help.
