What is Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives Program (HAFA)?
HAFA is part of the Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP). HAFA provides incentives in connection with a short sale or a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure (DIL) used to avoid foreclosure on a loan eligible for modification under the HAMP program. Servicers participating in HAMP are also required to comply with HAFA. HAFA applies to loans not owned or guaranteed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, which will issue their own versions.
