Home Buyer Education Frequently Asked Questions

What is down payment assistance? Down Payment Assistance (DPA) programs provide funds to assist qualified buyers with down payment and closing costs to purchase a home. The funds are provided in the form of a no-cost or low-cost second mortgage. One requirement to qualify is completion of a HUD-approved home buyer education course. UF/IFAS Extension is a HUD-approved Housing Counseling Agency that provides home buyer education. The certificate of completion is viable for up to 24 months for SHIP and up to 12 months for the Florida Housing Finance Corporation Florida Bond program.

Does my spouse need to attend the class? Attendance requirements are specific to each county. Please ask your Extension Agent for your county.

Do I need to attend the Home Buyer Education class in the county where I will purchase a home? No. The certificate of completion is nationally recognized and can be used in any state, county, or city in the United States.

When does the certificate expire? Certificates of completion of the Home Buyer Education course are in effect for up to 24 months for most DPA programs. The certificate expires 12 months after the date of completion for the Florida Housing Financial Corporation Bond program.

How do I know if I am eligible for down payment assistance? How much funding is available to me? Eligibility requirements and the amount of assistance available varies by county. Instructors will cover this information during the class.
