The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has created programs designed to assist struggling homeowners who are in danger of losing their houses to foreclosure due to unemployment.

• Under the “Home Affordable Unemployment Program” eligible unemployed homeowners who are looking for jobs may have their mortgage payments temporarily reduced or even suspended for up to 12 months.
• The HUD offers an Emergency Homeowners’ Loan Program (EHLP) to struggling homeowners.
• Some struggling homeowners may qualify for the Federal Housing Administration’s Special Forbearance, which can lessen or reduce monthly mortgage payments for a period of time.

Individuals who are struggling to meet their monthly mortgage payments may benefit from a number of these programs. Fortunately, a skilled attorney will be aware of each and every government program designed to assist struggling homeowners.
