I think the pandemic has had an exponentially negative impact on non-English speaking families across LA County. When there is a lack of language access, often these families are left out of conversations related to financial assistance. We are grateful for the federal funding and for all the government entities that have made the California Mortgage Relief Program available to our community, in their language.

The pandemic has forced too many California families into housing insecurity, through no fault of their own,” said Tiena Johnson Hall, Executive Director of the California Housing Finance Agency. “Many of these homeowners have already faced longstanding socioeconomic barriers to secure a home for their families. The California Mortgage Relief Program cannot undo that history, but it can help ensure that whatever progress these families have made toward intergenerational wealth is not lost.
