Making Home Affordable
The Making Home Affordable Program (MHA) ® is a Federal program to help homeowners avoid foreclosure, stabilize the country's housing market, and improve the nation's economy.
Eligible homeowners can lower their monthly mortgage payments and get into more stable loans at today's low rates. And for those homeowners for whom ownership is no longer affordable or desirable, the program can provide a way out which avoids foreclosure. Additionally, in an effort to be responsive to the needs of today's homeowners, there are also options for unemployed homeowners and homeowners who owe more than their homes are worth.
