Cobb homeowners struggling to make mortgage payments due to the coronavirus pandemic can apply for help from county government.
The county’s Cobb HomeSaver Program is now accepting applications for homeowners who are behind on their payments due to financial or medical hardship or death of a spouse or co-borrower due to COVID-19. Applicants could receive up to $4,800 in assistance and take advantage of optional homeownership counseling.
Eligible applicants must have lived in their home before March 1, still live in the residence and be behind on their payments. Residents can visit cobbhomesaver.org to review the criteria and apply for the assistance. Applications will be reviewed on a first-come, first-serve basis and award amounts could vary.
Cobb is using $4.8 million of the $132 million in Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act funding it received from the federal government to pay for this program. Residents can email cobbhomesaver@homefreeusa.org for questions or more information.
