Helping pull each other up a mountain

2026 Wildfire Assistance

Many of our members and employees have been impacted by the recent wildfires. As your financial partner, we’re always by your side—especially when disaster strikes.

We’re here to help.

If you’ve been affected by the recent wildfires and have experienced any of the following:

  • Fire damage to your home or property
  • The loss of everyday necessities, such as hygiene products, food or clothing
  • Evacuation-related expenses, including hotel accommodations, rental cars, animal boarding or transportation costs

We may have financial assistance options to help you through. Please reach out to us at 800.852.5316 for more information or explore your options below. 

Horizon Helps Emergency Loan

Members impacted by the wildfires may qualify for a Horizon Helps Emergency Loan with: 

  • Up to $7,500 
  • 1.99% APR 
  • Terms up to 60 months 

This program is designed to help cover emergency expenses and recovery costs as you get back on your feet. 

Payment relief for existing loans

If you have a collateralized loan or line of credit with Horizon, you may be eligible for a payment deferral to provide temporary financial relief. Call us at 800.852.5316 or visit your local branch to review your loan and options available to you.

Mortgage assistance

Members with a Horizon mortgage can contact our third-party servicer, Dovenmuehle Mortgage, Inc. (DMI), to discuss Natural Disaster Forbearance, which may provide up to three months of mortgage payment relief. Contact DMI directly at 866.397.5370 between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. PDT for support.

For additional financial relief options, the Washington State Department of Financial Institutions has provided resources for those impacted.
