About the Hardest Hit Fund
Save the Dream Ohio, formerly known as Restoring Stability: A Save the Dream Ohio Initiative, was created to help Ohio homeowners who are struggling to make their monthly house payments or facing foreclosure due to a financial hardship. The U.S. Department of the Treasury's Hardest Hit Fund allocated $762.2 million to OHFA to administer the program.
The program's funding is made possible by President Obama's Housing Finance Agency Innovation Fund for the Hardest Hit Markets, established in February 2010, to provide financial assistance to families in the states most impacted by the downturn of the housing crisis.
