Help for Homeowners Affected by Natural Disasters

Federally regulated Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have come together to get the word out about mortgage relief options for those affected by natural disasters.

Learn about options available for homeowners affected by a hurricane or by other natural disasters.

Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP)

HARP expires December 31, 2018. HARP was created by FHFA specifically to help homeowners who are current on their mortgage payments, but who are underwater on their mortgages. That is, they owe almost as much or more than the current value of their homes. To see if you qualify for HARP, go to HARP.gov.
