Do you know a Wyoming homeowner who has been impacted by COVID-19 and struggling to keep up with mortgage payments and other housing-related bills? The Wyoming Homeowner Assistance Fund (HAF) Program may be able to help. With up to $17,000 in one-time assistance, eligible homeowners can get caught up on delinquent mortgages, past due payments and receive up to three consecutive months of forward mortgage payments.
Thanks to $50 million in funding from the U.S. Department of the Treasury, the HAF Program is dedicated to helping Wyoming homeowners stay in their homes and get back on track financially. Despite low application numbers, the HAF Program has already distributed $9.6 million in assistance to 1,261 homeowners.
If you know a homeowner in need, please let them know about the HAF Program. Don’t let the opportunity to get assistance slip away – visit dfs.wyo.gov/haf.
Under the HAF Program, eligible homeowners can receive a one-time award to pay for:
Since its launch in May 2022, $8.5 million has gone to delinquent mortgages and $639K to forward mortgages. Another $355K has covered unpaid utility bills, $81K in unpaid property taxes, $5K for unpaid homeowners insurance and $23K for unpaid homeowner association dues.
