COVID-19 Housing Resources

Dear Community Members,

While the City of Westminster is not a direct provider of housing, we partner closely with the local housing authorities in Adams and Jefferson Counties and non-profit organizations who do provide housing and housing services.  In addition, we work alongside county staff to allocate federal dollars to assist low-income individuals and families. We have included a list of housing resources below and will continue to add to this list as we receive updates.

• Additional Information for Homeowners - HUD/FHFA

  On Wednesday, March 18, HUD announced that it would suspend foreclosures and evictions for mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration for 60 days (see announcement attached below). Similarly, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) directed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to suspend foreclosures and evictions for at least 60 days due to the coronavirus national emergency.

  The foreclosure and eviction suspension applies to homeowners with an Enterprise-backed single-family mortgage.  And earlier this month, FHFA announced that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac would provide payment forbearance to borrowers impacted by the coronavirus. Forbearance allows for a mortgage payment to be suspended for up to 12 months due to hardship caused by the coronavirus.
