HAF Program Update
by Wyoming Department of Family Services
October 2, 2022
Please help us spread the word about the Wyoming Homeowner Assistance Fund (HAF) Program, which is a temporary federally funded program. Even though households may be eligible for assistance, we cannot promise funding will be available in the future. Interested households should not wait to apply or seek help with their application. For application assistance, please contact the call center toll-free at 1-888-WYO-HAFP (1-888-996-4237) from 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Through the HAF Program, eligible homeowners can receive up to $17,000 in assistance as a one-time award, paid to a servicer or vendor on behalf of an eligible homeowner to pay for past due payments. Households do not need to be delinquent on mortgage payments to receive help for past due utility payments or housing-related expenses.
• MORTGAGE DELINQUENCY: Financial assistance to help reinstate a mortgage or to pay other housing-related costs related to a period of forbearance, delinquency, or default. Mortgage delinquency will be prioritized over other past due expenses.
• PAST DUE UTILITY PAYMENTS: Electricity, energy costs (fuel, oil & propane), water and sewer. (Internet costs are not an eligible expense.)
• PAST DUE HOUSING-RELATED BILLS: Property taxes, homeowners insurance or homeowner association dues.
Before applying, you can go to the online application and determine if you are eligible for the HAF Program. Visit dfs.wyo.gov/haf and click the APPLY NOW button. A window to the application portal will open and give you a choice to click on CHECK ELIGIBILITY or APPLY NOW.
FOR MORE INFORMATION VIA PHONE: For application assistance, please contact the call center toll-free at 1-888-WYO-HAFP (1-888-996-4237) from 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. Monday through Friday.
