Only
25 percent of Kansas Homeowner Assistance Funds remain
Homeowners
in need of assistance encouraged to apply now
TOPEKA
– The Kansas Homeowner Assistance Fund (KHAF), a
federally funded, temporary emergency program to support homeowners
experiencing hardship during the COVID pandemic, has dispersed 75 percent of
program funds. Since the program launched in April 2022, KHAF has provided $34,946,068
to 3,151 households. With a quarter of funds still available, homeowners
in need of assistance are encouraged to apply now while funding remains.
?“I was
stressed and overwhelmed when I got behind on my mortgage payments,” said one
KHAF applicant. “With so much going on in my life, I was hesitant to get
started applying. However, I learned that the application process was much
easier than I thought. My advice to others is to apply now; don’t
wait. If you need help, you can always call a KHAF customer service
representative.”
KHAF
was established with American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to help qualifying
Kansas homeowners get current on their mortgage payments and avoid foreclosure.
Eligible homeowners at least 30 days past-due on mortgage and/or property taxes
can receive payment assistance for mortgages, utility bills, property taxes,
and other charges associated with delinquency.
