Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP)
The Home Affordable Refinance Program, or HARP, was set up by the Federal Housing Finance Agency in 2009 to provide assistance for underwater and near-underwater homeowners to refinance their mortgages into a fixed loan with lower monthly payments. This program is targeted for homeowner’s current on their monthly mortgage payments but unable to refinance their home due to dropped home prices in the current situation of the U. S. housing market.
