How To Become a Lender

The Escambia County Housing Finance Authority would like to thank you for your interest in becoming a participating lender in our Homeownership Program.  The Authority’s program provides a below market interest rate in twenty-four (24) Counties in the State of Florida.   One of the largest hurdles in purchasing a home is a lack of down payment funds.  The Authority provides up to $8,000 down payment and closing cost assistance to each homebuyer, as needed.

If your company is interested in offering another resource to your clients by participating in our Home Ownership Program, please review the Program Invitation and Guidelines, Mortgage Origination Agreement and Series Schedule at  http://www.ehousing.cc/escambia10.htm for a complete description of the program and information on how to participate in the program.  As a participating lender, you may be able to make the dream of homeownership come true for many of your clients.  If you need additional information please feel free to contact the Authority at 850-432-7077 or 800-388-1970.
