The California Mortgage Relief Program

The California Mortgage Relief Program, which launched on December 27, 2021, is providing one-time payments to qualified homeowners who have fallen behind on their housing payments. Using $1 billion in federal funds, the program is helping homeowners who had a financial hardship during the COVID-19 pandemic by covering missed mortgage and property tax payments. Assistance provided through this program is not a loan and does not need to be paid back.

Beginning June 13, 2022, the program is covering unpaid property taxes for eligible homeowners. Assistance with past-due property taxes will extend to mortgage-free homeowners and those whose mortgage payments are current.

Homeowners can check their eligibility and apply through the portal below or by calling 1-888-840-2594.
