Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Scott Turner announced the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) is extending its foreclosure moratoriums on FHA-insured single-family mortgages in areas impacted by Hurricanes Helene and Milton by an additional 90 days.
The extensions are designed to assist households in devastated areas across Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. The moratoriums prohibit mortgage servicers from initiating or completing foreclosure actions on FHA-insured single-family forward or Home Equity Conversion mortgages through July 10.
This is the second extension of the moratoriums, which were most recently set to expire on April 11, 2025.
“Individuals and families across the Southeast are still putting pieces of their livelihoods back together following back-to-back hurricanes this Fall,” said Turner. “HUD remains committed to the long-term recovery of these impacted communities. Today’s action will allow more flexibility as our fellow Americans continue working to stabilize their families, properties and communities.”
