What is HAFA and HAMP?

What is HAFA  and HAMP?

In February 2009, the Obama Administration introduced the Making Home Affordable Program–to help distressed and struggling homeowners stay in their homes and avoid foreclosure.   One of the programs is called HAMP – the Home Affordable Modification Program.  If you want to stay in your home, then you should apply for HAMP.  Although  many people have been helped through the HAMP program, there were many families that still could not keep up with the payments even with a loan modification.  That is why HAFA is available.

HAMP:  March 4, 2009-The U.S. Department of Treasury released the Making Home Affordable Program for loan modifications and special refinancing terms by the nations leading banks.  The Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP) will offer assistance to millions of homeowners, making their mortgages more affordable and helping to prevent the destructive impact of foreclosures on families, communities and the national economy. The HAMP Program will help at risk homeowners avoid foreclosure by reducing monthly mortgage payments. The HAMP Program can reduce your interest rate as low as 2% Fixed and extend your loan to 40 years if necessary. You will also qualify for principal reduction each year while you are in the Program.

HAFA:  The Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternative (HAFA) program is important because it’s sponsored by the federal government, with the common goal of helping borrowers and an alternative way in avoiding foreclosure. This HAFA program gives borrowers  incentives that will help them take advantage of a short sale, whereby the borrower and the mortgage servicer agree to sell the home for less than the value of the loan, forgiving the unpaid balance. This allows the borrower to leave the property with dignity and allows the borrower to purchase a new home again in the near future. There is no cost for the HAFA program and you may be eligible for a $3000 relocation incentive.  The process of doing a HAFA Short Sale is very similar to a Traditional Short Sale.  Not all banks have agreed to participate with the HAFA program.  To find out if your lender is participating in HAFA, send the full name of your lender(s) to info@calshortsalehelp.com, and we will get back to you.
