Find my programs

Questions, 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 Millington and Tennessee, 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.
