It’s true, dubbed the Homeowners Assistance Fund, the $10 billion stimulus packages for homeowners is a part of the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan, which was passed by Democrats in March.

According to Fox News, “The Treasury Department, which is disbursing the funds, is sending the money to states to distribute it through housing programs. Each state will receive at least $50 million from the federal government. States must spend the money by Sept. 30, 2025.”
If you’re struggling to pay your mortgage, you might qualify for extra assistance on top of your normal stimulus checks.
Do You Quality For The Stimulus Package For Homeowners?
To qualify for additional stimulus funds, you need to meet the criteria below.
- You must have a mortgage balance that is less than $548,250 as of 2021.
- You must be able to prove that you suffered a job loss or some other financial hardship after Jan. 21, 2020
Even if you meet that criteria, you may not get this stimulus for homeowners as 60% of this $10 billion aid needs to go to owners with an income that’s lower than the national median income. That number is roughly less than $36,000 per year.
