However, there are other programs out there for homeowners who do not have loans with these institutions. Regardless of credit score or payment history, these programs are designed to help homeowners stay in their homes and avoid the foreclosure process. One of the first things a Lender will require from the borrower is a Letter of Hardship explaining the borrower’s situation and why they cannot continue with their current loan.

My loan is not Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac backed, can the Making Home Affordable Program help me?

Yes. The Program is designed to help any homeowner that is struggling to make their mortgage payment and wants to stay in their home and/or stop a foreclosure and/or short sale.  The program is available for anyone whether they are behind on payments or not.  They do need to show some change in why they can’t make their payments and document the change.
