The Homeowner Assistance Fund was established to mitigate financial hardships associated with the COVID-19 pandemic by providing funds to eligible entities.
These funds prevented homeowners from mortgage delinquencies, helped limit defaults, assisted in limiting foreclosures, and stopped the loss of utility services while keeping homeowners from experiencing financial hardships.
With the establishment of this program, many Housing Finance Agencies started looking for ways to administer a total of $9.961 Billion to their communities, subject to guidance from the Treasury Department.
