  • How to get help with your mortgage during COVID-19 (Chinese). 目前有許多因COVID-19新冠肺炎疫情影響而遭受財務損失的房屋業主可能將難以支付房屋抵押貸款。大多數房屋業主都有資格從貸款公司獲得幫助,但是他們必需先提出求助要求。大多數房屋貸款人可以要求一般所謂的“寬限期”,而將房屋抵押貸款的還款時限最多延長至十二個月。因寬限期而推遲繳付的貸款可以在日後將其附加到整筆貸款之尾期,或可另外設定一項協議來逐步償還。在大多數情況下,所欠款項不必一次全部償還。而如果在寬限期截止後,貸款人若還是無法負擔其定期房屋抵押貸款還款額,則可以要求貸款公司進行覆查,而讓他們獲得比較能夠負擔的還款方式。 根據聯邦CARES (新冠病毒疫情援助救難經濟安全法案) 規定,當房屋業主提出要求時,就應得到這項緊急援助。此一法規適用於業主的房屋抵押貸款是由Federal Housing Administration (FHA), Veterans Administration, Rural Housing, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac(聯邦住屋行政管理局、退伍軍人行政管理局、鄉村住屋管理機構、房利美、房地美)等聯邦機構擔保或擁有的房屋抵押貸款。而選用私營房屋抵押貸款公司的貸款人也可以從他們的貸款公司獲得援助。 英語能力有限的貸款人如果需要協助,以便了解自己可選擇哪些援助,或希望與房屋抵押貸款公司進行溝通,應該聯繫由聯邦住屋和都市發展局(HUD)核准的住屋諮詢機構。這些機構的認證住屋諮詢顧問可為您提供免費服務。貸款人可以在此查找聯邦住屋和都市發展局(HUD)所批准的諮詢機構,他們用中文及其他多元語言提供諮詢服務:https://apps.hud.gov/offices/hsg
