@9NTH43Q1yr1Y
Yes, as long as drug abuse, alcoholism, or other irresponsible behavior weren’t factors in the foreclosure
@bunnies444 12mos12MO
Yes, only if there is proof that the homeowner is doing everything in their power to keep their home.
@9NJDLB21yr1Y
Depending on situation I believe the government should provide assistance
@9SGS2K211mos11MO
Yes, but only if they are facing foreclosure due to things out of their control. If they bought a mansion they can't afford the government should let them fail just like big businesses that overextend themselves.
@9PT6LY31yr1Y
Yes, as long as alcoholism, drug abuse, or other forms of irresponsibility played no role in the foreclosure
@9V9LV4Q9mos9MO
Situational - ex. Paid mortgage for 20 years never late and became ill. Couldn’t pay mortgage because medical treatment was 7,000 a month
@9Q3B6HP1yr1Y
no, but there should be more help available afterwards and no penalties for first time foreclosures/evictions
@9X38KX79mos9MO
It depends on why the homeowner is facing foreclosure. If the homeowner has gone through reasonable unforeseen circumstances leading to an inability to work, then yes. Otherwise, no.
