Government-funded Assistance
Hardest Hit Fund (HHF)
Homeowners who are having difficulty making their current mortgage payment may be eligible for assistance through the U.S. Department of Treasury's Hardest Hit Fund. The Hardest Hit Fund provides assistance to families in areas that have been hit hardest by the economic downturn.
- Loan Modification
- Mortgage Payment Assistance
- Transition Assistance Programs
Because HHF programs are designed and administered at the state level, homeowners need to apply directly with their state program. Once a homeowner is approved for a state program, PennyMac will work with the state to help the homeowner with their mortgage payments.
Don't delay; some states have already concluded the application process. State requirements and program details are subject to change. Please refer to your state's program for the most up-to-date information.
