October 7, 2020
A new mortgage assistance program to assist low-income homeowners impacted by the COVID-19 economic downturn is available from the Skagit County government.
This program is for homeowners who have lost income due to COVID-19 and are currently at 50 percent or below of area median income. The threshold is $2,617 per month for a household of two, or $3,267 per month for a household of four. Additional eligibility criteria can be found on the application. The program can assist with up to $6,000 in past due mortgage payments, excluding escrow payment.
The program is offered on a first qualified, first served basis until Nov. 23 or until funds are expended.
Skagit County continues to make investments using federal CARES Act funds, including the mortgage assistance program. The Skagit County Commissioners are planning further investments in the education and childcare sectors. This summer, the Commissioners allocated nearly $1,000,000 in small business assistance using CARES funding.
