Emergency Homeowners' Loan Program (EHLP) to help homeowners
facing foreclosure.
Applications being accepted now through July 22.
Are you facing a housing foreclosure? We
are now accepting pre-screening applications for the Emergency
Homeowners' Loan Program (EHLP).
The EHLP is a program available through
the US Department of Housing and Urban Development in an effort to
help eligible homeowners who are facing foreclosure due to being
temporarily unemployed or underemployed.
The EHLP will provide eligible homeowners
with emergency assistance that pays a portion of their monthly
mortgage payment for up to 24 consecutive months, or up to $50,000.
This money will also be used to cover past due mortgage
payments.
Eligibility requirements include that the
homeowner must:
- Have received a notification of foreclosure
- Have experienced a reduction in income of at least 15%
- Be at least 3 months delinquent on mortgage payments
- Reside in the mortgaged property as a principal residence
- Spend more than 31% of your income on your mortgage
payment
- Have a reasonable likelihood of affording the mortgage payment
upon re-employment
- Have an income of less than or equal to $75,000 (or 120% of
your Area Median Income)
If you meet these qualifications and are
