Mortgage, property tax assistance available for NH homeowners
A new relief fund is open for New Hampshire residents struggling to pay mortgages, property taxes and other housing costs. To qualify, you must own your home and it must be your primary residence. You must also have an income below 125% of the median income in your area. The program also provides legal advice and services. “Where they might have fallen behind on their mortgage payments or property taxes, those were partly masked by the foreclosure moratoriums and home loan rules that have expired now, so some issues don’t are just resurfacing now,” said Rob Dapice, CEO of New Hampshire Housing. There is a maximum amount of $20,000 per household. More information on how to apply for the Homeowners Relief Fund or for the housing assistance are available on the HomeHelpNH website.
