Program details

How it works

Jackson County’s housing page lists the Florida Homeownership Loan Program (FL HLP) Second Mortgage as a down payment assistance option for borrowers purchasing in the county. The program is presented as a state-level SHIP-related homeownership tool administered through Florida Housing Finance Corporation.

What the money covers

The page says borrowers may use the assistance for down payment assistance (DPA). It is offered as a second mortgage.

Amounts and repayment

The page states the FL HLP Second Mortgage offers up to $10,000. It is described as a 3% fully amortizing second mortgage with a 15-year term. The page also says the loan carries a monthly payment, and that the remaining unpaid principal balance is deferred except in the event of sale, transfer of deed, satisfaction of the first mortgage, refinancing of the property, or when the borrower stops occupying the property as a primary residence; at that time, the loan becomes payable in full.

How to apply

The county page does not provide a separate application link for FL HLP on this page, but it identifies the program as available to borrowers selected for purchase in the county.

Timing and deadlines

No fixed deadline is listed on the page.
