Thousands of Californians who fell behind on their mortgages or property taxes during the pandemic were eligible for federal relief funds as part of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, but the plan covered only payments from Jan. 1, 2020, to March 1, 2023.
Now the program has been extended for applicants with any missed payments prior to Feb. 1, including those who previously took advantage of the program, according to a press release last month by the California Housing Finance Agency.
