NCSHA Letter to Treasury with Policy Recommendations for Homeowner Assistance Fund
On March 12, 2021, NCSHA sent this letter to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen outlining our policy recommendations for implementing the Homeowner Assistance Fund (HAF), included in the American Rescue Plan. In the letter, NCSHA makes three types of recommendations: 1) mission-critical items that must be included in whatever mechanism Treasury uses to disburse HAF funds to make the program operable; 2) issues that are necessary for Treasury to clarify or resolve for the programs to launch promptly; and 3) steps Treasury can take when administering the program to help ensure that assistance is delivered promptly and effectively.
