Homeowner’s Assistance Fund (HAF)
This only applies to Homeowners, not renters
The Homeowner Assistance Fund (HAF) is a new federally funded foreclosure prevention program that provides assistance for Arizona homeowners experiencing financial hardship due to COVID-19. If you are in danger of losing your home, the HAF program can prevent that from happening.
To qualify for HAF assistance, you must meet ALL of the following criteria:
- Be living at or below 150% of Area Median Income.
- Based on county and number of residents in the home
- Example: Maricopa County household of four with income at or below $132,450
- Experienced financial hardship due to COVID-19 after Jan. 21, 2020, such as:
- Job loss
- Reduction in income
- Increase costs due to healthcare
- The need to care for a family member
- You are applying for your primary residence located in Arizona.
If you qualify, these funds will assist with paying past-due bills up to $25,000 and may include funds toward future costs:
- Mortgage payments
- Utility payments
- Property insurance and taxes
- HOA fees
- Internet services
