Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternative (HAFA)

Purdue Federal Credit Union Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternative (HAFA) Matrix
All servicers that have signed agreements with the U.S. Department of the Treasury (Treasury) to participate in the Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP) must consider eligible borrowers who do not qualify for HAMP for other foreclosure prevention options including Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives (HAFA) which includes short sale and deed-in-lieu. However, each servicer has some discretion in determining additional eligibility criteria and certain program rules. In order to assist borrowers and their representatives in understanding any unique components of a servicer’s HAFA Policy, Treasury, has developed this HAFA Matrix. The summary information in this matrix is prepared solely by Purdue Federal Credit Union and does not represent any determination by the Treasury as to the servicer’s compliance with the Treasury’s policies and guidance for HAFA. Treasury does not endorse any language or policy described in this matrix. Any questions regarding the information contained in this matrix should be directed solely to Purdue Federal Credit Union.
