Update on Military Homeowners Assistance Act

[flangl18]

The 2009 American Economy Recovery Act had a provision that assisted
military personnel that had to PCS during the current mortgage and
housing crisis. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers was already running
the Homeowners Assistance Program for families affected by BRAC closures
so they were tasked with developing an expanded program that included
anyone losing their home or negatively affected by the forced sale of
their home btwn 01 FEB 2006 and 30 SEP 2012. This has taken time to get
approved through DoD and the federal government.

However, I have some good news that broke this morning. Evidently
the DoD and Office of Management & Budget have finally resolved the
issues concerning utilization of the American Economy Recovery Act and
authorized funding the expansion of the military Homeowners Assistance
Program. Military personnel that are required to PCS more than 50 miles
from their current primary residence btwn 1 FEB 2006 and 30 SEP 2012 are
now entitled to assistance. The following links provide the details and
the forms to download and submit to the Army Corps of Engineers who
administer the program and will now accept applications. Pls inform any
of your Sailors or Marines that may have been affected by during this
current economic crisis.
