COVID-19 Mortgage Payment Forbearance - Deadline June 30, 2021
To assist FHA borrowers with keeping their homes, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is promoting a COVID-19 forbearance option to constituents in our area. This relief will only be available until June 30, 2021.
If you are current on your mortgage payments or are already on a mortgage payment forbearance, please disregard.
Forbearance is when your mortgage servicer or lender allows you to pause or reduce your mortgage payments for a limited time while you build back your finances. Forbearance can help you deal with a financial hardship, such as unemployment or reduction of income.
Forbearance doesn’t mean your payments are forgiven or erased. Under forbearance, you are still obligated to repay any missed payments, which, in most cases, may be repaid over time or when you refinance or sell your home.
Action steps
If the pandemic has made it difficult for you to make your mortgage payments, follow the steps below to pause or reduce your payments.
