The California Mortgage Relief Program is announcing that it is adjusting its delinquency date requirement for past-due mortgage and property tax payments from August 1, 2023 to February 1, 2024.

Homeowners who have missed at least two mortgage payments or one property tax payment by February 1, 2024, and are currently behind, may qualify for up to $80,000 in financial assistance.

Applicants who were previously declined because they did not meet the prior delinquency date requirements may now be eligible for the program with this change.

As each homeowner’s situation is unique, we encourage homeowners to visit CaMortgageRelief.org for eligibility information, program requirements, and information about how to apply. 

If you have questions or would like to speak with a team member, please call the Contact Center at (888) 840-2594 during the hours of 8 AM – 6 PM PT, Monday - Friday.
