What’s local to Holly Springs
There are no programs run by Holly Springs itself. A Holly Springs buyer uses Wake County’s programs, plus the statewide and federal ones above — all of which are open to them.
The closest city that runs its own program is Raleigh, about 14 miles away. City programs usually require the home to be inside that city’s limits — worth checking if you’re still choosing where to buy.
HUD puts the 2026 area median income for Wake County at $132,300 for a four-person household. 17 of the programs listed here set an income limit as a percentage of that figure, which is why the same program admits a different income in a different county. Published limits for North Carolina →
90-second match
Not sure which you qualify for?
Answer 9 questions and we'll match you to every program you can actually use — in about 90 seconds. No SSN, no credit pull.
Find my programsQuestions, answered
The honest answers first
Do I need to share my SSN or get a credit check?
No. Exploring programs on Hey Prescott is free and anonymous — no Social Security number, no credit pull. You only share details when you choose to apply with a lender.
Is this free?
Yes. Browsing programs and getting matched is free. Hey Prescott is not a lender and never charges you to use it.
Are these all the programs?
We list active programs we've verified for Holly Springs and North Carolina, refreshed regularly. New programs are added as agencies publish them — check back as your search continues.
Can I use more than one?
Often, yes. Many buyers combine ("stack") a grant or forgivable second with a statewide or federal program. Stacking and eligibility rules are set by each administering agency.
How current is this?
We re-verify programs regularly; each program card shows the date it was last verified. Always confirm the latest terms on the official program site before you apply.
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.
