Puerto Rico Homeowner Assistance Program

What is the Puerto Rico Homeowner Assistance Program?
 
This assistance supports homeowners in Puerto Rico who have faced difficulties paying the mortgage on their main home, and other housing-related expenses, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
 

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).

 
What is HAF?
 

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.
