MILITARY HOMEOWNERS ASSISTANCE PROGRAM (HAP)

When you are faced with a military relocation, there are many choices that need to be made. Choosing a professional to navigate through the HAP homeowner's assistance program shouldn't be.  We have a track record of success and have helped several service members sell their home under the HAP program and relocate effortlessly to and from San Diego.

DETAILS OF THE PROGRAM

The Department of Defense (DOD) is proud to offer the Homeowners Assistance Program (HAP) to eligible service members and federal civilian, including non-appropriated fund, employees. The program is authorized by law, and administered by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to assist eligible homeowners who face financial loss when selling their primary residence homes in areas where real estate values have declined because of a base closure or realignment announcement.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) temporarily expands the HAP to assist service members and DOD employees who are wounded, injured or become ill when deployed, surviving spouses of service members or DOD employees killed or died of wounds while deployed, service member and civilian employees assigned to BRAC 05 organizations, and service members required to permanently relocate during the home mortgage crisis.

Eligibility

• Personnel transferred or terminated within six months prior to the announcement who were owner-occupants at the time of transfer.

• Civilian and military personnel on overseas tours who transferred within three years prior to the announcement and who are homeowners in the area.

• Civilian employee homeowners on overseas tours with reemployment rights in the area affected by the announcement.

• Military member homeowners ordered into on-post housing within six months prior to the announcement.

• All applicants must have been the owner-occupant of their homes for which assistance is being requested on the announcement date.

• A Non-Appropriated employee who was assigned at the installation on the closure/realignment announcement date may also apply.

• Civilian and military personnel on an overseas tour who transferred within 3 years prior to the announcement and who are homeowners in the area; and

• Civilian employee homeowners on an overseas tour with reemployment rights in the area affected by the closure; and

• A military member homeowner ordered into on-post housing within six months prior to the announcement.

• In addition, applicants must be relocating beyond commuting distance from the area.

• All applicants must have been the owner-occupant of the home for which assistance is being requested on the announcement date. To qualify, the applicant must also meet other eligibility criteria.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS:

"Rochelle was an enormous help in getting our condo sold in San Diego. We worked with her from across the country and were very happy with her fast communication and the ease with which we were able to work from so far away. Our condo sold using the military HAP program and Rochelle assisted us with all of the program details. We would definitely use Rochelle again if we were to buy another house in the area!"
