What You Need To Know About Mortgage Assistance Programs

Monthly mortgage payments can greatly impact a homeowner’s ability to cover the cost of groceries, monthly utility bills and necessary medical expenses. Finances can fluctuate and an easily manageable mortgage payment can quickly become too difficult to pay. Many people consider mortgage assistance programs in order to have the extra cash they need each month.

The most common government-sponsored mortgage assistance programs are HARP, MHA and HHF. These programs all offer different assistance based on your financial situation and geographic location.

What You Need To Know About Mortgage Assistance Programs | Globe Life

1. HARP

HARP, the Home Affordable Refinance Program, is designed to help those that are current on their mortgage payments but owe more than their house may be worth. If you qualify, you can benefit from getting a lower interest rate, a shorter loan term or change other terms of your current mortgage loan. You can find out the eligibility requirements by visiting https://www.fhfa.gov/Homeownersbuyer/MortgageAssistance/Pages/HARP.aspx.

2. Making Home Affordable Program (MHA)
Making Home Affordable Program (MHA) is designed to help those having difficulty paying their loan payments. This program helps avoid foreclosures by offering options like refinancing to better loan terms or relieving recipients of homeownership via short sales. If you qualify, you may be able to reduce your monthly mortgage payments. You can review specifics at https://www.makinghomeaffordable.gov/pages/default.aspx.

3. Hardest Hit Fund (HHF)
Hardest Hit Fund (HHF) provides aid to families in certain areas based on that state’s economic and housing markets. Some of the benefits available through this program include mortgage assistance for those unemployed or underemployed, and help for homeowners who need to transition out of their current homes and into more affordable housing. You can review the available benefits and required documents by visiting https://www.treasury.gov/initiatives/financial-stability/TARP-Programs/housing/hhf/Pages/default.aspx.
