HomeSaver - A Foreclosure Prevention Program

Welcome. We're here to help you stay in your home!

The District of Columbia Housing Finance Agency (DCHFA) has worked to develop an effective and comprehensive program that administers its allocation of the U.S. Treasury Hardest Hit Fund Initiative and assists as many unemployed District homeowners as possible. DCHFA's HomeSaver Program, a foreclosure prevention program, will assist an estimated 1,000 homeowners who have experienced involuntary job loss.

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.
