The State of New Mexico, in partnership with MFA, will begin accepting applications for the New Mexico Homeowner Assistance Fund on Tuesday, May 18. The assistance covers past-due or current mortgage payments for income-eligible New Mexicans who have experienced a financial hardship associated with the COVID-19 health crisis. The New Mexico Homeowner Assistance Fund replaces the COVID-19 Homeowner Assistance Program, which also served homeowners with housing cost assistance payments.
Households may receive up to $10,000 from the New Mexico Homeowner Assistance Fund in order to maintain housing and/or to reduce housing cost delinquency. MFA will make payments directly to mortgage or loan servicers, escrow companies or other housing providers. The assistance does not have to be repaid.
