Questions, answered
Can down payment assistance be used with a USDA loan in Colorado?
52 programs in Colorado name USDA loans among the loan types they can be paired with. The assistance program and the first-mortgage lender underwrite separately, so a lender must also be willing to accept the assistance as a source of funds.
Does naming USDA loans mean a program is open to everyone using one?
No. The loan type is one eligibility rule among several — income limits, purchase price caps, credit requirements and occupancy rules all still apply, and each program sets its own.
Is Hey Prescott a lender?
No. Hey Prescott is an educational directory of down payment assistance programs. We list programs and link to official sources; we do not make loans or give individualized lending advice.
Programs and counts: Hey Prescott program records, each verified with its administering agency (June–September 2026). Counselors: HUD housing counseling agency list. Hey Prescott is not a lender.
