Is Pandemic Mortgage Relief Helping Homeowners?

As of late June 2021, nearly 4 percent of mortgage loans, representing 2 million homeowners, were in forbearance. A strong housing market, proactive agency action and guidance, and coronavirus relief legislation have given these homeowners, many of whom are still facing COVID-related financial hardships, options to exit forbearance and avoid foreclosure.

BPC has asked a group of experts to join us for a Q&A session on ongoing efforts to provide homeowners with mortgage relief, including a status update on the nearly $10 billion being distributed by the Treasury Department to states, territories, and tribes through the Homeowner Assistance Fund.
