Miami, FL- U.S. Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), Bill Nelson (D-FL), and Robert Menendez (D-NJ) today urged the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to extend the foreclosure moratorium set to expire for victims of Hurricane Maria in the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.
The full text of the letter is below:
Dear Secretary Carson, Mr. Layton, and Mr. Mayopoulos
As you know, in September of this year a devastating hurricane swept through the U.S. Territories of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, killing dozens and leaving the islands’ housing stock and infrastructure severely damaged. While victims of the storm work to pick up the pieces of their lives and repair homes that in many cases are still without electricity, they should not also be at risk of losing their homes and having their life savings wiped out. We write to you today to ask that you do everything in your power to assist victims of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands with keeping their homes in the aftermath of that terrible storm.
We greatly appreciate that HUD, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have imposed temporary moratoriums on foreclosures in Puerto Rico. However, we are concerned that the moratorium by HUD will expire on March 18, 2018, while the moratorium by Fannie and Freddie is set to expire on March 31, 2018. That is, these foreclosure moratoriums could potentially end before electricity and other essential services are fully restored to the islands.
Therefore, we ask that you extend the foreclosure moratorium for an additional twelve (12) months and provide additional relief to affected homeowners. This relief should include more expansive options to keep families in their homes. For example:
People in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands attempting to get back on their feet and rebuild their islands should not have to worry about evictions, late fees, negative credit reports or any other financial burdens they may now be experiencing due to no fault of their own. We appreciate your attention to these matters and your support of the American citizens affected by this disaster.
Sincerely,
