What is the Homeowner Assistance Fund?

The Homeowner Assistance Fund, also known as PAHAF, is a government initiative aimed at helping struggling homeowners stay in their homes. It provides financial assistance to eligible households who have experienced financial hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic, job loss, or other extenuating circumstances.

Qualifications and Eligibility

To qualify for the Homeowner Assistance Fund, certain eligibility requirements must be met. These may vary based on factors such as income, homeownership status, and geographic location. Berggren & Turturice will guide you through the qualification process, ensuring you meet the necessary criteria to access the funds.

Income Threshold

One of the key factors in determining eligibility for the Homeowner Assistance Fund is your household income. The program takes into account your current income level, compared to the area median income (AMI). Berggren & Turturice will assess your income and help you navigate the application process, ensuring you maximize your chances of receiving financial aid.

Homeownership Status

Eligibility for the Homeowner Assistance Fund is typically limited to homeowners who are facing financial difficulties with their primary residence. If you own multiple properties, it's essential to provide the necessary documentation to demonstrate that the property for which you are seeking assistance is your primary residence. The experienced team at Berggren & Turturice will assist you in gathering the required documentation to support your application.
