Questions, answered
Can down payment assistance be used with an FHA loan in Georgia?
44 programs in Georgia name FHA 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 FHA 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.
