What is the HARP Loan Program in New York?
The US Government’s Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP) is a program designed to help homeowners refinance their home in situations where value has declined and, as a result, other refinancing programs are not an option. H.A.R.P. loans are meant to help homeowners obtain a more affordable and stable NY mortgage.
