On December 10, homeowners who are struggling to pay their mortgages due to unemployment or a significant loss in income can turn to a new online resource: www.oregonhomeownerhelp.org
The new website is home to the Oregon Homeownership Stabilization Initiative’s Mortgage Payment Assistance (MPA) program. Under the program, the state will pay the mortgages of selected applicants for as long as a year, up to a $20,000 maximum.
At the website, homeowners can learn more about the MPA program, see if they may be eligible, and sign up for regular program updates.
OHCS has also identified Community Services Consortium to help homeowners navigate the application process.
To find out if you might qualify for help with your mortgage, visit www.oregonhomeownerhelp.org. If you need immediate help, call the Homeowner's HOPE™ Hotline at 888-995-HOPE (4673).
