Subject: KHAF Program - Help for Homeowners Past Due on Mortgage and/or
Property Taxes
To:


The Kansas Homeowner Assistance Fund (KHAF) has granted 1,926 homeowner
applications a total of $20,325,452 in mortgage, property tax and utility
aid to date.  Yet thousands of Kansans are still in danger of losing their
homes.



In its most recent report, the Mortgage Bankers Association said that in
Kansas 10,098 mortgages were past due, with 5,353 seriously delinquent.

Only 1,926 applications have been granted. *This means there is a
significant gap in the number of people who need help and the number of
homeowners who have applied for assistance. *



*Please help us inform Kansas homeowners that the KHAF program is real,
funds won’t last forever, and to apply now.  *
