What is the income eligibility for the HAF Program?
You meet the income eligibility requirements for the HAF Program if your total annual household income is at or below 150% of the area median income (AMI). Your AMI depends on how many people live in your household and the county you live in. Please reference the table below to see the 2024 AMI applicable to your household. AMI limits are set by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and revised in April of each year.
Watch out for mortgage assistance scams
Please watch out for mortgage assistance scams. According to the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, mortgage loan modification scams are schemes to take your money – often by making a false promise of saving you from foreclosure. The Federal Trade Commission explains that these scammers promise they’ll get changes to your loan so you can keep your home but they want you to pay them an upfront fee before helping you. Don’t pay an upfront fee. It’s illegal for a company to charge you upfront for promises to help you get relief on paying your mortgage.
