HAFA Program to Homeowners:
How HAFA Can Help You. . .

The Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives (HAFA) Program was designed in addition to the the Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP) 

Most homeowners were unable to take advantage of the HAMP program to modify their loans and the foreclosures kept coming and coming. . .The government stepped in and created the HAFA Program

When a borrower applies for a loan modification and they simply can not afford the payments. .HAFA is for you

If the loan modification terms are unacceptable to the homeowner. . .HAFA is for you

If you were accepted into the HAMP program and you have missed payments already during your trial period. . HAFA is for you

Before HAFA, these borrowers simply were usually headed for a foreclosure.

HAFA gives you a viable alternative to foreclosure. 

The homeowner must request an approval for a short sale. .

HAFA also imposes limits on the lender to help the borrower. Under the terms of this program, a lender must release the borrower from all future liability for the first mortgage debt. The lender may not ask the borrower for cash or a promissory note, and the lender may not ask a court for a deficiency judgment. 

All the documents have been standardized and procedures, time frames, and deadlines have been streamlined under HAFA to make the process smooth and easier for both borrowers and lenders.

HAFA also will provide a $3,000 incentive for Relocation Costs to the homeowner
