The MyHomeCT Program will offer grant assistance (up to $50,000) which can reinstate (“catch-up”), provide up to 12 months’ worth of go-forward payments, or a combination of both to eligible Connecticut homeowners who have suffered a financial hardship as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Mortgage Assistance Grant

	One-time		Ongoing *
	Mortgage reinstatement for homeowners who have an arrearage (total overdue amount) but have the ability to make continued monthly payments.		Up to 12 months of monthly mortgage assistance for homeowners who are unable to make their payments going forward. Assistance may also be used to cure an arrearage (total overdue amount) if there is one.

Non-Mortgage Assistance Grant

	One-time		Ongoing *
	One-time payment of delinquent qualified non-mortgage expenses to bring them current on behalf of a homeowner who can afford to pay these expenses going forward, after being caught up.		Up to 12 months of assistance for homeowners who are unable to make their qualified non-mortgage expense payments going forward. Assistance may also be used to cure an arrearage (total overdue amount) if there is one.
	Qualified expenses for either program can include:
