Puerto Rico Homeowner Assistance Program
The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico was awarded $75.6 million of Homeowner Assistance Funds (HAF) from the U.S. Department of the Treasury through the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 to launch Puerto Rico’s HAF Program. Through this funding, the Puerto Rico Housing Finance Authority (PRHFA) will administer the Puerto Rico Homeowner Assistance Program (PRHAP).
The Homeowner Assistance Fund (HAF) is intended to help homeowners affected by the COVID-19 pandemic avoid mortgage delinquency, foreclosure and loss of basic services to home. This relief is intended for homeowners facing financial difficulties before and continued after January 21, 2020. In Puerto Rico this program will be known as the Puerto Rico Homeowners Assistance Program.
