B 25-0862 District of Columbia · 25th Council Period (2023-2024)

Foreclosure Moratorium and Homeowner Assistance Fund Coordination Temporary Amendment Act of 2024

This bill extends temporary foreclosure protections for homeowners in the District of Columbia who applied for assistance from the DC Homeowner Assistance Fund before September 30, 2022, and whose applications are still pending. It prevents lenders and other creditors from initiating or conducting foreclosures, sales, or redemption judgments against these homeowners until their applications are fully processed or denied. Additionally, the law requires that all foreclosure notices sent to affected residents include information about the assistance program and how it might help resolve their debts. The legislation also mandates that the Mayor provide necessary documentation to applicants and publish sample warning notices to help lenders communicate effectively with homeowners.
