RFQ 2010-07 Housing Counseling Agencies for the Implementation of HFA Hardest Hit Fund Mortgage Intervention Strategy

The Florida Housing Finance Corporation invites all qualified entities to submit proposals to deliver the Mortgage Intervention Strategy that will include: client intake; Screening for eligibility with Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP); determination of eligibility with the Mortgage Intervention Strategy; continuing case management of clients assisted with the Mortgage Intervention Strategy and reporting activities. The Mortgage Intervention Strategy is designed to help unemployed or underemployed homeowners achieve the goal of sustainable homeownership by extending the time period for homeowners to become re-employed at a salary that is sufficient to either resume making full mortgage payments or qualify for a mortgage modification that will lower the payments and terms of the mortgage to an affordable level. Treasury has not yet approved the final terms of this strategy. Therefore, provisions of the RFQ are subject to change based upon final Treasury approval.
