FHFA encourages anyone facing economic hardship as a result of COVID-19 to immediately contact their landlord or mortgage servicer (the company they send their mortgage payments to), to see if they qualify for payment relief. As a financial regulator, FHFA is not able to offer direct assistance or field individual inquiries from renters, landlords, or borrowers. We have gathered resources and information below, including the latest actions by FHFA, that provide guidance for lenders, servicers and others who directly assist homeowners and renters adversely impacted by COVID-19.
FHFA is closely monitoring the coronavirus national emergency’s effect on the housing finance market and continues to update policies and guidance to ensure its regulated entities – Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac (the Enterprises), and the Federal Home Loan Banks (FHLBanks) – are fulfilling their mission of providing market liquidity during this difficult time.
