Homeowner Assistance Fund Program Accepting Final Applications until June 15th
Homeowners who have struggled to make mortgage payments due to the COVID-19 pandemic may still be eligible for assistance, but the last chance to apply is coming up.
According to Oregon Housing and Community Services (OHCS), because program funds are running low, they will close the Homeowner Assistance Fund (HAF) program to new applications at 8 a.m. June 15th.
Applications are processed in the order they are completed, meaning OHCS has received all required information from both the homeowner and servicer. Applicants are not guaranteed to be funded even if they are eligible.
In February, OHCS reopened HAF to support eligible homeowners who have experienced severe financial hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Homeowners must have a primary mortgage with a participating mortgage servicing company that is 90 days or more past due in order to be eligible for assistance.
Eligible homeowners can qualify for up to $50,000 in grant funds, regardless of whether they’ve previously received HAF payments. Payments will be made directly to their servicer to reinstate their mortgage. Homeowners can learn more about eligibility criteria and application requirements at oregonhomeownerassistance.org.
