Foreclosure Moratorium and Homeowner Assistance Fund Coordination Temporary Amendment Act of 2025
This bill temporarily extends foreclosure protections for District of Columbia homeowners who applied for the DC Homeowner Assistance Fund (DC HAF) before September 30, 2022, and whose applications are still pending (under review, approved, or under appeal). It prohibits residential foreclosures, sales, or redemption judgments under specific DC codes until DC HAF resolves the application or denies it following appeal. Lenders and housing entities must send notices to these homeowners before starting foreclosure actions, informing them about DC HAF’s potential to cover their debts and the September 30, 2022, application deadline. The protections apply only to those with pre-September 30, 2022, applications still pending as of September 30, 2022.
