Portland is a Sanctuary City Homeowner Foreclosure Prevention of A white bungalow-style, two-story house with a picket fence. The Homeowner Foreclosure Prevention program works through partner organizations to provide foreclosure prevention counseling and, where needed, financial assistance to homeowners facing foreclosure. This program is funded by the American Rescue Plan, which is investing in Portland’s recovery.

This multi-year program anticipates long-lasting impacts of the pandemic and focuses on home retention and stability. Once moratoriums expire, we should be prepared for possible foreclosures or threats of such action, or homeowners will be forced to rely on credit cards and any existing savings to pay the increased monthly payments or lump sums in some cases.

This project responds directly to the negative impacts of the pandemic on low-income community members and will stabilize vulnerable homeowners. The Foreclosure Prevention Counseling service element of this project will be offered through nonprofit HUD-certified counseling agencies who will provide homeowners the support to navigate foreclosure prevention options with their servicer.

In the future, this project will also provide financial assistance for Portland residents who have been financially impacted by COVID-19 and who are at risk of losing their homes by directing payments to the mortgage company, utility company or tax collector (as eligible), extending the amount of assistance and eligible uses from previous programs.

The project will fill any gaps from the ARP State Homeowner Assistance Fund (HAF) once State allocations are determined and provide some financial planning and support to ensure long term housing stability. Who does this program serve? Program delivery will be primarily through culturally-specific organizations with an existing pipeline of Black, Indigenous, and other homeowners of color.

This program is expected to run through June 2024 unless all funding is spent sooner. How do I apply for this program?
