Dear Anaheim City Council,
We are reaching out on behalf of the State of California Mortgage Relief Program
(https://camortgagerelief.org/) to provide an important update that could assist thousands of your
constituents. Homeowners behind on 2 payments of mortgage starting February 1 can now apply to the
program and receive up to $80,000 in payments that do not need to be paid back. The previous delinquency
st
date was August 1.
There are limited funds remaining for late mortgage and property tax payments through the California
Mortgage Relief Program (CMRP) with an even later delinquency date for missed payments (February
st
1). Through $750 million in funds, CMRP has already funded over 30,000 homes throughout California to help
homeowners stay in their homes and get caught up with their mortgage. CMRP is open to all eligible
Californians and is absolutely free—funds never need to be paid back. Grants from the program are paid
directly to your bank or mortgage servicer. The program's website is available in 6 languages (English, Spanish,
Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese, & Tagalog.)
The link for the toolkit is provided here (https://camortgagerelief.org/partner-resources/). The resource page
has more information to share with your network and materials. Homeowners can visit the application
questionnaire here to find out if they qualify. Property tax has now been added which covers 1 payment owed
prior to February 2022.
When possible, I’d like to hold a call to go over more details on the program and help gather any questions
that you may have. Looking forward to how we can work together.
More details of the program:
Previously awarded homeowners who are still eligible and need more assistance can return for
additional funds with a maximum of $80,000 in total assistance
