The Arkansas Homeowner Assistance Fund (HAF) is a federally funded program helping Arkansas residents who are behind on their mortgages, electricity, gas and/or internet payments.

HAF offered both Mortgage Assistance, which provides funds to eliminate or reduce past due payments, and pay up to six (6) monthly mortgage payments, or Principal Assistance to help a homeowner achieve an affordable payment, and Utility/Internet/Broadband Payment Assistance, which provides funds to resolve delinquent payments for utility and/or internet access services, to low- to moderate-income homeowners impacted by COVID-19.

Program Success

The Arkansas HAF program provided 4,958 homeowners with $51,767,935 in financial assistance through its mortgage, utility, internet/broadband programs.
