Navigating Foreclosure: Your Path to Homeownership Recovery
Mortgage or Tax Foreclosure Help
DID YOU KNOW? More than 60% of people who see a counselor are able to find a solution for their mortgage.
You worked hard to save and buy a home, but financial problems can happen to anyone. If you're falling behind on payments and facing foreclosure, the first step is to contact a HUD-certified housing counselor through the MSHDA's Housing Education Program. The earlier you seek help, the more options you'll have. A counselor can help facilitate communication and request more time to figure things out. Depending on your situation, you might be able to keep your home or find another solution that protects your credit. A housing counselor will explain your options, guide you through the process, help you avoid scams, and inform you about additional programs that can assist you. It's a tough time, but your counselor will support you every step of the way to assist you.
