State assistance and information

The State of Hawai'i has released guidance for homeowners and renters during the pandemic. 

The Office of Consumer Protection (OCP) is providing answers to Frequently Asked Questions (FAQS) to assist homeowners and renters and with inquiries regarding the Landlord-Tenant code. Visit the OCP website for more information.

other fair and AFFORDABLE housing resources

The National Fair Housing Alliance has released a Summary of Temporary Relief for single family mortgage borrowers impacted by COVID-19 and priorities for the response to the virus. 

See the National Housing Preservation Database for a guide of affordable housing across the country. 

Housing and urban development (hud) assistance

The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) has extended the foreclosure and eviction moratorium through June 30, 2021 for homeowners with FHA-insured single family mortgages covered under the CARES Act.

The CARES Act also requires mortgage servicers to allow homeowners to forbear their mortgage payments for six months, plus another six months if requested. The guidance applies to all homeowners with FHA-insured Title II Single Family forward and Home Equity Conversion (reverse) mortgages. It halts all new foreclosure actions and suspends any foreclosures in process and stops all evictions of persons from FHA-insured single-family properties. For more information, see the press release from HUD.
