Help for mortgage: Westchester County
Freddie Mac is doing all we can to help employees, borrowers, lenders and investors who are dealing with the impacts of the novel coronavirus, known as COVID-19. We’ve been very clear about the actions we’ve taken to protect our employees and ensure continuity of operations. Last week, we announced a number of relief measures designed to provide flexibility to borrowers facing a hardship in paying their mortgage.
Working with the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), Freddie Mac announced that it has taken action to make it easier for the mortgage industry to buy or sell a home. Specifically, in order for homes to be bought, sold and refinanced, Freddie Mac will provide flexibility in employment verification requirements and leverage appraisal alternatives for eligible mortgages to address challenges lenders and borrowers are facing due to COVID-19.
Freddie Mac EVP and head of Single-Family, Donna Corley said, “The actions we’ve taken today will provide much-needed liquidity and stability to the housing market in this difficult time. That’s fundamentally our role – to be here in good times and in bad to keep the housing market going. We’re doing all we can to help our customers, borrowers and the broader economy during this trying time.”
Details on the announcement can be found in Freddie Mac’s Single-Family Seller/Servicer Guide (Guide) Bulletin 2020-5.

How to make sanitizer at home.
Can’t seem to find hand sanitizer in Westchester County?
Well right now this seems to be a worldwide issue.
In this link you’ll find ways to create your own hand sanitizer: http://www.eatingwell.com/syndication/hand-sanitizer-is-selling-out-in-many-places-heres-how-to-diy-your-own/?utm_campaign=eatingwell_eatingwell_trueanthem&utm_content=bestofever
Follow this simple recipe.
What You’ll Need:
- 1/3 cup aloe vera gel (available at most drugstores)
- 2/3 cup 99% rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol)
- Containers with watertight lids (we like these ones from Amazon)
- Small funnel (optional)
- Essential oils (optional)
Note: If you can’t find 99% rubbing alcohol, you may need to adjust the ratio above to make sure the mixture contains at least 60 percent alcohol.
Follow These Steps:
1. Stir together the aloe vera gel and rubbing alcohol until fully incorporated.
2. If you’d like, you can add a couple drops of essential oil, such as lavender(just test your skin for sensitivity first).
3. Using a funnel, decant the mixture into a bottle or container with a secure lid. When you use the hand sanitizer, dispense it into the palm of one hand and rub all over the surface of both hands until completely dry. Keep the bottle out of reach of children.
