On February 2, 2011 Governor Robert Bentley announced the creation of Hardest Hit Alabama (HHA), a new program providing $162 million for the prevention of foreclosures in Alabama.
The Alabama Housing Finance Authority (AHFA) was allocated approximately $162 million to provide assistance targeted at unemployed homeowners. The U.S. Department of Treasury’s “Hardest Hit Fund” is authorized under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 and is available in 18 states and the District of Columbia.
Eligible homeowners will receive assistance to pay their current mortgage payment and other mortgage-related expenses, including payments on subordinate liens, while unemployed. HHA will provide up to 12 monthly mortgage payments, not to exceed $15,000 per household.
Alabama homeowners who have been declared eligible to receive unemployment compensation benefits may apply. To qualify, applicants must have a total household income of less than $75,740, and the unpaid principle balance on their home’s mortgages must be less than $258,690.
The homeowner must currently occupy the property as their primary residence, and the home must be located in Alabama. Assistance will be available for single-family homes, attached or detached, and manufactured housing attached to real property.
AHFA will administer the HHA program. Interested homeowners can submit an application for Hardest Hit assistance through HHA’s secure website.
HHA will be available statewide to qualified homeowners on a first-come, first-served basis. For more information, please visit the website at www.HardestHitAlabama.com or call toll-free at 1.877.497.8182.

If Internal Revenue Service has placed a tax levy on your credit report, it would seriously influence your credit standing and will either render sale of property difficult or impossible. Taking off a tax lien from your credit report should be a first priority for you if you intend to sell your home.
This is a well thought out article that I have bookmarked for future reference.
Thank you, we hope you will continue to visit our web site.

Nice read
Very interesting. I appreciate you making these thoughts online, the rest of the site is also well done.
thanks for the good stuff
Thanks for explaining this.
I’m not that much of a online blog reader to be honest but your blogs really nice, keep it up!
I really like your blog, appreciate the great information….
Great article. I am a agent in Jacksonville Florida myself who specializes in short sales. Prices are dirt cheap down here right now and it is without a doubt more affordable to buy rather than rent in most price ranges.
I’m impressed with your website. I had no trouble navigating through all the tabs and related information.
This web site seems very beneficial.
Best of luck with this site. I learn so many things here;)
