We are no longer accepting applications at this time for the Pierce County Foreclosure Prevention Mortgage Assistance Program
HomeSight is pleased to announce we are partners with the Washington State Housing Finance Commission and Pierce County Human Services to help you stay housed and support families in our community. HomeSight has $1,260,000 in foreclosure prevention mortgage assistance grants of up to $7,500 each to help over 160 qualified homeowners who are behind on their loan payments.
Many families are facing housing instability due to the pandemic’s economic challenges and Pierce County and HomeSight may be able to help. If you are struggling to make mortgage payments due to layoffs, reduced hours, and/or the need to care for children who are not in school. For some, having residents in the home for more hours of the day has increased household expenses, including food and utilities.
