West Virginia Homeowners Rescue Program
West Virginia Housing Development Fund · State program
West Virginia’s Housing Development Fund helps eligible homeowners pay past-due mortgage, utility, homeowners’ insurance, property tax, and other housing-related bills. It is not a repair grant, but it can help keep a hardening project or recovery situation from turning into a bigger housing crisis.
Program details
How it works
The West Virginia Homeowners Rescue Program is a state homeowner assistance program run by the West Virginia Housing Development Fund. The official state page says it helps homeowners with past-due mortgage payments, utilities, homeowners’ insurance, property taxes, and other eligible costs.
What the money covers
The page specifically lists:
- Past-due mortgage payments
- Utilities
- Homeowners’ insurance
- Property taxes
- Other eligible costs
The page does not describe any home-hardening construction work, so this is best viewed as housing-keeping assistance rather than a mitigation or repair grant.
How to apply
The state page links to the program application and says applicants can also call 844-542-0035 to request a paper application.
What a homeowner should know
The page makes clear that a homeowner does not have to have a mortgage, or need mortgage help, to apply for other types of assistance. It also says people who own their home free and clear may still qualify if they are behind on other housing expenses.
