If you are a service member, federal civilian, non-appropriated fund employee, you may be eligible for the Homeowners Assistance Program (HAP). This program is authorized by law, and administered by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to assist eligible homeowners who face financial loss when selling their primary residence homes in areas where real estate values have declined because of a base closure or realignment announcement.
Additionally, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) has temporarily expanded HAP to assist the following personnel:
-
service members and DOD employees who are wounded, injured or become ill when deployed
-
surviving spouses of service members or DOD employees killed or died of wounds while deployed
-
service member and civilian employees assigned to BRAC 05 organizations
-
service members required to permanently relocate during the home mortgage crisis.
