Who HAF Has Helped

Carrol

I can't thank you enough for all the help you've provided to my family and myself. It has helped tremendously. I'm still having difficulty keeping up with things but have taken steps to keep all expenses up to date. Again I am grateful for all your help.

Grafton

It has not been an easy few months and honestly I’ve been able to sleep these last two weeks knowing that we are getting rid of our existing servicer and knowing that we are coming up out of this hole. We wouldn’t have been able to navigate as far as we have without you so I want to thank you so much.

Hillsborough

We appreciate all your efforts to advise us and meet the deadlines and help get our house mortgage resolved and up to date. We will be working toward keeping it that way and remaining in our home.

Hillsborough

Just wanted to say Thank You so much for helping us get caught up on our bills. The Program has made a big difference for us as the past due accounts are now up to date and we did not have to face any shut offs. We appreciate all you have done.
