Treasury Department Extends Application Deadline for the Making Home Affordable Program
5/30/2013. The U.S. Department of the Treasury and the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development today announced an extension of the Making Home
Affordable Program through December 31, 2015. The new deadline was determined
in coordination with the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) to align with
extended deadlines for the Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP) and the
Streamlined Modification Initiative for homeowners with loans owned or
guaranteed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The Making Home Affordable Program
has been a critical part of the Administration’s efforts to provide relief to
families at risk of foreclosure and help the housing market recover from a
historic housing crisis. The program deadline was previously December 31, 2013.
