Homeowner Needs and Community Engagement

What Quantitative Data Has Informed the Participant’s Planning?

Treasury will assess the extent to which a Participant has, in the course of its HAF planning process, relied on

quantitative data, including from community-based organizations or organizations that serve potentially

eligible homeowners. 

In its HAF planning process, has the Participant obtained quantitative data from mortgage servicers, private

data providers, government entities, community-based organizations, or other sources to inform its planning

about how to target and best serve eligible homeowners with mortgage delinquencies, defaults, foreclosures?

Yes

If yes, please list and, briefly describe each source of quantitative data.

• Treasury provided data, contributed by a number of federal agencies, including information on

mortgage delinquencies and forbearances, breakdowns by demographic factors, and

concentration among mortgage servicers.

• Mortgage Bankers Association’s (MBA) National Delinquency Survey for the First Quarter of

2021 to supplement Treasury provided data 

• Mortgage Analytics and Performance Dashboard (MAPD) data compiled by Black Knight,

Inc., and Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta to identify geographic distribution of delinquency /

forbearance rates throughout the state by both Parish and Zip Code. 

• Loan sample from Louisiana Housing Corporation containing data on 250 government backed

loans to understand the average months delinquent, and average amount in delinquency

payments

In its HAF planning process, has the Participant obtained and reviewed quantitative data or studies regarding

which demographic segments in its jurisdiction have historically experienced discrimination in the housing or

housing finance market?

Yes

If yes, please list and, briefly describe each source of quantitative data.

• Data from U.S Census Bureau on Owner Occupied Housing Units by Race and Ethnicity for

State of Louisiana

• Treasury Data for Loans in Forbearance and Loans in Delinquency for High Minority

populations, and percent of active loans in Forbearance by ethnicity of borrower. 

• U.S Census Bureau Data for Race as Percentage of Population by Parish

In its HAF planning process, has the Participant obtained quantitative data from utility providers or entities

charged with assessing and collecting property taxes or relied on quantitative data or studies to inform its

planning about how to target and best serve eligible homeowners at risk of displacement due to utility

arrearage or tax foreclosure?

No

In the following text box, please list any source not listed above of quantitative information, including

sources of data on the performance of any of the Participant’s previously implemented programs, that the

Participant used to inform its HAF planning process, briefly describe how the data informed the Participant’s

planning.

• Census Bureau’s Household Pulse Survey to assess data on self-reported impacted of

COVID-19 pandemic, including participant confidence in their ability to make next month’s

mortgage payment and household income. 

• U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Comprehensive Housing

Affordability Strategy data to assess homeowner households experiencing housing cost burden

by available HUD Area Median Family income category information for the State. 

• Centers for Disease Control and Prevention/ Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease

Registry/ Geospatial Research, Analysis, and Services Program Social Vulnerability Index to

assess population percentages by parish of socially vulnerable individuals. 

• U.S Census Bureau American Community Survey Data to inform social demographic analysis

across the State.

The data allowed the state to reach out to key Stakeholders (financial institutions, housing

counseling agencies, and local governments) to discuss efficient ways to serve Louisiana citizens.

A communication plan and website were created that allow citizens, nonprofits, etc. to receive

more information on the program. The state contracted with Louisiana’s 211 nonprofit calling

service which provides information and resources typically to low and moderate income and

socially disadvantaged populations seeking assistance.

Participant’s Planning?

Treasury will assess the extent to which a Participant’s assessment of homeowner needs has been informed

by and reflects input from organizations and individuals representing eligible homeowners, including any

opportunities for public participation in the development of the Participant’s plan. Treasury will pay

particular attention to the extent of the Participant’s engagement with populations that are the subject of

statutory targeting requirements.

Has the Participant requested and received input on its HAF planning process from providers of housing

counseling services or providers of legal assistance to homeowners facing foreclosure or displacement?

Program Design

What are the Program Design Elements Through Which the Participant Will

Deliver HAF Assistance to Eligible Homeowners?

A program design element is a specific activity or program, which is consistent with a qualified expense

category, under which a Participant will disburse HAF funds in accordance with the HAF Plan. Please note

that multiple program design elements may fit under a single qualified expense category; for example, a

mortgage assistance program that has different terms for federally backed mortgages and manufactured-home

mortgages may constitute two separate program design elements, for which case the Participant provides a

separate term sheet or other description for each program design element. 

HAF participants must have at least one program design element intended to reduce mortgage delinquency

among targeted populations. Treasury encourages HAF participants to consider program design elements that

address homeownership preservation for targeted populations in areas where there is a sustained trend of

increasing property taxes or utility costs, including for households that do not have mortgages.

Please identify each qualified expense category in which the Participant will offer a program design element

by checking the boxes below.

mortgage payment assistance 

 mortgage principal reduction, including with respect to a second mortgage provided by a nonprofit

or government entity 

 payment assistance for homeowner’s utilities, including electric, gas, home energy, and water 

 payment assistance for homeowner’s insurance, flood insurance, and mortgage insurance 

 payment assistance for delinquent property taxes to prevent homeowner tax foreclosures 

 payment assistance for down payment assistance loans provided by nonprofit or government

entities 

 financial assistance to allow a homeowner to reinstate a mortgage or to pay other housing-related

costs related to a period of forbearance, delinquency, or default 

facilitating mortgage interest rate reductions 

 payment assistance for homeowner’s internet service, including broadband internet access service,

as defined in 47 CFR 8.1(b) 

 payment assistance for homeowner’s association fees or liens, condominium association fees, or

common charges 

 measures to prevent homeowner displacement, such as home repairs to maintain the habitability of

a home or assistance to enable households to receive clear title to their properties

A HAF participant may elect to revise its HAF Plan over time to add or subtract program design elements.

Does the Participant anticipate adding additional program design elements to this HAF Plan within one year

of this submission?

Yes

Treasury has provided sample term sheets to assist HAF participants in developing their HAF plans.

Participants may use these sample term sheets, in whole or in part, as part of their submission. To the extent

the Participant intends to structure the program differently with respect to significant program terms

described in the Sample Term Sheets, Treasury will, in the course of its review of the HAF Plan, request a

justification for how the alternate approach will further the objectives of the HAF, including targeting and

prioritization requirements. In the chart below, the HAF Participant may provide a justification for significant

deviations from the terms described in the sample term sheets upon initial submittal. (optional for initial

submission)

Documentation of Homeowner Income

Homeowners are eligible to receive amounts allocated to a HAF participant under the HAF only if they have

incomes equal to or less than 150% of the area median income or 100% of the median income for the United

States, whichever is greater. In addition, not less than 60% of amounts made available to each HAF

participant must be used for qualified expenses that assist homeowners having incomes equal to or less than

100% of the area median income or equal to or less than 100% of the median income for the United States,
Page 10 of 22

HAF Grantee Plan - HAFP-0083 -Gov Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Prep - Extracted

 02/15/2022 15:37:12

whichever is greater. The HAF guidance describes permissible ways for HAF participants to determine

homeowner income.

Under the HAF guidance, one permissible approach for determining income is for (1) the household to

provide a written attestation as to household income and (2) the HAF participant to use a reasonable

fact-specific proxy for household income, such as reliance on data regarding average incomes in the

household’s geographic area. Will the Participant allow income to be determined in this way?

Yes

If yes, please describe the fact-specific proxy or proxies to be used for the income determination.

Categorical Eligibility: The state will utilize eligibility for SNAP benefits to demonstrate income

eligibility for the HAF program. State data available through the Louisiana Workforce

Commission regarding receipt of unemployment benefits is an additional data set that will be

used to establish income eligibility for applicants. Both of these data sources have been proven

effective for use in other federally funded programs.

Geographic Proxy: An applicant’s income eligibility would be demonstrated by geographic

fact-specific proxy if an applicant’s primary residence is located in a census tract whose 2019

5-year ACS median owner-occupied household income is below the encompassing parish’s 2019

HUD median family income (MFI).

In other words, for program determination: IF “census tract median owner-occupied household

income” < “100% parish MFI” THEN “income-eligible”.

Under the HAF guidance, HAF participants may provide waivers or exceptions to this documentation

requirement as reasonably necessary to accommodate extenuating circumstances, such as disabilities,

practical challenges related to the pandemic, or a lack of technological access by homeowners; in these cases,

the HAF participant is still responsible for making the required determination regarding household income

and documenting that determination. Will the Participant allow applicants to request such waivers or

exceptions?

Yes

Eligible Mortgage Types

Please indicate which of the following mortgage types are eligible to be assisted under one or more of the

Participant’s program design elements.

 First Mortgages 

 Reverse Mortgages (Home Equity Conversion Mortgages, Single-Purposes Reverse Mortgages, or

Proprietary Reverse Mortgages) 

 Contracts for Deed or Land Contract (if it is a credit transaction secured by a consensual security

interest in a dwelling) 

 Second Mortgages 

 Loans Secured by Manufactured Housing (secured by real estate or dwelling)

If the Participant excludes any of the forgoing mortgage types from one or more program design elements,

explain the exclusion.

N/A

How Will the Participant Target HAF Resources Consistent with Statutory

Requirements? 

The Participant must describe how it will target HAF resources in accordance with the HAF guidance.

Targeting strategies are affirmative efforts to inform, encourage the participation of, and facilitate access to

resources for targeted households, including by offering multiple intake formats, engaging with nonprofit

organizations (e.g., housing counselors or legal services organizations) to provide additional pathways into

the program, and providing community outreach, partnerships with housing counseling agencies or legal aid

organizations, or other educational services that are aligned with the HAF participant’s program design, in a

manner that is culturally and linguistically relevant to the targeted communities.

Defining Socially Disadvantaged Individual

Please describe the process the Participant will use to determine whether a homeowner is a “socially

disadvantaged individual” as defined in the HAF guidance.

In accordance with Treasury Guidance, not less than 60% of amounts made available to each

HAF participant must be used for qualified expenses that assist homeowners having incomes

equal to or less than 100% of the area median income or equal to or less than 100% of the

median income for the United States, whichever is greater. Any amount not made available to

homeowners that meet this income-targeting requirement must be prioritized for assistance to

socially disadvantaged individuals, with funds remaining after such prioritization being made

available for other eligible homeowners, including those with both government-back and

conventional loans. 

Treasury has defined Socially Disadvantage individuals as those whose ability to purchase or

own a home has been impaired due to diminished access to credit on reasonable terms as

compared to others in comparable economic circumstances, based on disparities in

homeownership rates in the HAF participant’s jurisdiction as documented by the U.S. Census.

The impairment must stem from circumstances beyond their control. Below, the state has listed

the indicators of impairment under this definition, and the process by which these homeowners

will be identified and prioritized: 

(1) member of a group that has been subjected to racial or ethnic prejudice or cultural bias

within American society – to be automatically flagged according to demographic data submitted

by applicant through the application portal. 

(2) resident of a majority-minority Census tract – to be automatically flagged based on

applicant’s residential address through the application portal

(3) individual with limited English proficiency – to be automatically flagged for those applicants

that submit an application in a language other than English; applicants will also have the option

to indicate LEP status on the application, even if the application is completed in English.

(4) resident of a U.S. territory, Indian reservation, or Hawaiian Home Land – to be automatically

flagged based on applicant’s residential

 resident of a U.S. territory, Indian reservation, or Hawaiian Home Land 

 homeowners in persistent poverty counties; 

 individual with limited English proficiency 

Please indicate in which languages, in addition to English, public communications to targeted populations

will be undertaken:

Spanish; Vietnamese

Outreach

Will the Participant engage in outreach through partnerships with organizations that focus primarily on

serving homeowners earning incomes below 100% of area median income or socially disadvantaged

individuals and that have the capacity to engage targeted communities in a culturally and linguistically

relevant manner to encourage the submission of applications for HAF resources from targeted populations?

Yes

If yes, please indicate whether the community outreach efforts will include partnerships with organizations

that primarily target the following populations:

 member of a group that has been subjected to racial or ethnic prejudice or cultural bias within

American society; 

 resident of a majority-minority Census tract; (3) individual with limited English proficiency; 

 resident of a U.S. territory, Indian reservation, or Hawaiian Home Land;
