Many of us have experienced or anticipate a loss of income due to the worldwide pandemic. If you are worried about making your payments now or in the near future, NOW is the time for you to CONTACT your service providers! There is Coronavirus Mortgage, Rental, Credit Card, Auto, and Personal Loan Relief but you have to ask for it! 

Here is a list of some of the companies and other entities offering assistance and what you can expect from them.

Federal Relief On Mortgages

FHA-Insured Mortgages

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) was ordered by President Trump on March 18 to suspend evictions and foreclosures for the next 60 days. The moratorium only applies to homeowners with mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), a part of HUD that insures home loans made by FHA-approved lenders. The moratorium only covers FHA mortgages for single family homes. 

The order not only prevents new foreclosure actions but also suspends all foreclosure actions currently in process. 

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac

The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), which oversees Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the Federal Home Loan banks, is providing payment forbearance to borrowers impacted by the coronavirus for up to 12 months due to hardship. 

Additionally, Freddie Mac has implemented a program offering relief to multifamily landlords whose mortgages are financed with a Freddie Mac multifamily fully performing loan. Under this program, landlords can defer loan payments for 90 days by showing hardship due to COVID-19; in return, landlords are required not to evict any tenant based on nonpayment of rent during the forbearance period.,  Check if Fannie Mae owns your loan here.          Check if Freddie Mac owns your loan here.
