In several U.S. states, the financial assistance from HAF is provided as a grant. This means unlike loans, these payments do not have to be repaid. However, in some states, the HAF funds are offered as interest-free loans that may be forgiven in the future. This means it also does not have to be repaid unless a homeowner sells, refinances, or transfers the ownership of their home.
