Updated 9/22/2023 – On October 21, 2023, the Indiana Homeowner Assistance Fund (IHAF) will begin holding new applications until sufficient funds are available to make additional awards. All applications are subject to eligibility review and the availability of funds. Applications received on or after October 21 cannot be guaranteed financial assistance.

The program is designed to assist those Indiana homeowners with low to moderate incomes who have experienced a financial hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Assistance can be applied to mortgage payments, property taxes, insurance, or fees associated with the homeowner’s primary residence only. Awards are limited to one per household and are provided in the form of a 5-year forgivable, interest-free loan. All existing program eligibility requirements will remain in effect for future applicants and awards.

Between February 2022 and October 2023, the Indiana Homeowner Assistance Fund (IHAF) provided more than 9,100 Hoosier households with an average of over $13,000 in assistance in the form of mortgage reinstatement, ongoing mortgage payments, and the payment of delinquent property taxes, homeowner’s insurance, and homeowner association fees. With the amount of assistance that has already been disbursed, the funds that are currently obligated for upcoming payments, and number of applications that are being processed, the HAF is very near to providing the total amount of funds available for homeowner assistance.
