City of McAllen to Offer Mortgage Assistance
McALLEN – The City of McAllen is seeking applicants for mortgage assistance for McAllen residents who have fallen behind on their monthly payment, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The program is designed to help residents who are already behind. Residents must also meet the U.S. Housing and Urban Development (H.U.D.) guidelines, whose household income is 80 percent below the area median income and are not currently receiving mortgage assistance due to COVID-19 impact from any other agency. Thanks to a federal grant award from the Texas Department of Housing & Community Affairs, McAllen homeowners are now eligible for assistance through the Texas Emergency Mortgage Assistance Program. The award of $350,000 should be able to assist families for six months of mortgage assistance: five months of arrears and one current month.
