News from HomeHelpMN
Minnesota Housing will host an informational webinar about the upcoming HomeHelpMN program. HomeHelpMN will provide financial assistance to help eligible Minnesota homeowners who have fallen behind on their mortgage payments and other eligible housing-related expenses due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The program will launch later this spring.
Attend the webinar if you would like to learn about program eligibility, what costs are covered, and how to get ready to apply.
The webinar will be held on Wednesday, April 20, from 6:30 – 7:30 p.m.
A recording will be made available after the webinar. You can submit questions ahead of time when you register. While not every question may be addressed individually, we will address frequently asked questions in the webinar and program materials.
Other steps you can take today:
There are steps you can take today that can help preserve your home and help you be prepared for the opening of the HomeHelpMN program. If you are concerned about your ability to make your mortgage payments, we recommend that you pursue these options now, regardless of your interest in the program:
-
Contact your mortgage loan servicer to discuss options. Whether you are currently in forbearance, exiting forbearance, have missed one or more payments, or are worried about falling behind, this is the first step to resolving your concerns.
-
Make an appointment with a HUD-certified housing counselor/homeownership advisor. Minnesota’s counseling network can help you navigate applications, communicate with your lender, and connect you with additional programs and resources that can provide assistance. Visit the Minnesota Homeownership Center to find an advisor. These services are free of charge and confidential. Many advisors offer virtual appointments.
-
Apply for Energy Assistance. Homeowners may qualify for help with energy bills and future energy costs, including delivered fuels. Visit the Minnesota Department of Commerce or call 800.657.3710 to learn more about eligibility and apply.
-
Stay alert to avoid fraud. Scam activity is on the rise from people pretending to offer foreclosure help or government grants. Never give out personal or financial information or passwords over the phone, and don’t pay a fee for foreclosure help. You can learn more at stophomescams.org.
