We are focused on a comprehensive response because #coronavirus has impacted every aspect of life. We’ve partnered with 12 of the largest housing lenders in #Boston to defer homeowners’ mortgage payments by 3 months, and longer if needed.

These lenders agree to not charge late fees or report non-payment to credit bureaus. After the deferral period, homeowners will not be required to pay the deferred payments in one lump sum. They will be able to work with their lenders on a repayment plan.

Thank you to our 12 partners including: Bank of America; Boston Private; Cambridge Trust Company; Century Bank; Citizens Bank; City of Boston Credit Union; Dedham Savings Bank; Eastern Bank; Mortgage Network, Inc.; Prime Lending; Salem Five Bank; and Santander Bank.

If you are having difficulty making payments because the #coronavirus pandemic, I encourage you to reach out directly to your lender, or you can get more information from the Boston Home Center on http://homecenter.boston.gov .
