Resource Alert

The DC Department of Housing and Community (DHCD) has recently launched a Homeowner Assistance Fund Pilot Program (HAF-Pilot). The pilot program can help income-qualified District homeowners facing financial troubles because of the COVID-19 pandemic who:

• Own a condominium in DC in zip codes 20019, 20020, 20024, and 20032; and

• Bought it using down payment and/or closing cost assistance from DHCD; and

• Are behind on their mortgage or other property-related payments (such as condo fees, property taxes, and homeowner insurance).

The goal is to help eligible homeowners keep their homes and because the support comes in the form of a grant, it does not need to be paid back.

What are the income limits for the program?

How do I apply?

Learn more about the program and eligibility requirements below. DHCD is now accepting applications.

You will be asked to create an account in the DC Homeowner Assistance Fund Portal before you answer a brief series of screening questions to determine if you can apply for the program at this time. We will use this information to keep in touch with you as the program continues.

If you pass the screening questions, you will continue your application in the portal.
