Program Background Established through the 2021 American Rescue Plan to prevent mortgage delinquencies, defaults, displacements and foreclosures for homeowners experiencing financial difficulties due to the coronavirus pandemic, the program offers assistance of up to $40,000 for qualified homeowners as long as funding is available. For qualified homeowners, the fund offers: • Mortgage payment assistance on first and subordinate mortgages, including down payment assistance loans provided by nonprofit or government entities. • Financial assistance to allow a homeowner to reinstate a mortgage or to pay other housing-related costs related to a period of forbearance, delinquency or default. • Homeowner’s insurance, flood insurance and mortgage insurance. • Homeowner’s association fees or liens, condominium association fees, special assessments or common charges. • Payment assistance for delinquent property taxes to prevent homeowner tax foreclosures. • Personal property taxes and, in some cases, lot rental fees on unaffixed mobile homes. However, applications for lot rent only are not eligible under VMRP. This project is being supported, in whole or in part, by federal award number HAF-0003 awarded to the Commonwealth of Virginia by the U.S. Department of the Treasury.
