Welcome. We're here to help you stay in your home!
The District of Columbia Housing Finance Agency (DCHFA) has developed an effective and comprehensive program that administers the U.S. Treasury Hardest Hit Funds and assists as many unemployed District homeowners as possible. As of January 28, 2013 the program is open to the underemployed as well. DCHFA's HomeSaver, a foreclosure prevention program, will assist an estimated 900 homeowners who have experienced involuntary job loss or a decrease in employment income.
The HomeSaver Program will assist qualified District homeowners who are at risk of foreclosure by maintaining their monthly mortgage payments and thus, allowing them to remain in their homes.
The HomeSaver Program will consist of three components, Lifeline, Mortgage Assistance and Restore and each is designed to maximize assistance to qualified homeowners. The HomeSaver Program is open to all eligible District homeowners.
