Disaster Help for Homeowners

Fannie Mae offers a wide range of disaster assistance to homeowners with a Fannie Mae-owned loan.

Mortgage Servicers – Our mortgage servicers are the first line of defense, with the ability to provide immediate loan payment relief lasting up to a year, followed by a loan modification that aims to keep monthly payments similar to the pre-disaster amount. Homeowners should contact their servicer immediately after a disaster.

Fannie Mae's disaster recovery counseling can help eligible homeowners navigate the broader financial impacts of disaster and the challenging recovery process with a team of HUD-approved housing counselors offering:

• A needs assessment and personalized recovery plan
• Help requesting financial relief from FEMA, insurance, mortgage servicers, and other sources
• Web resources and ongoing guidance from experienced disaster relief advisors

Homeowners can call 855-HERE2HELP (855-437-3243) to access disaster recovery counseling or other available resources. Our disaster recovery counseling is operated by MMI's Project Porchlight program.
