Yes, as long as drug abuse, alcoholism, or other irresponsible behavior weren’t factors in the foreclosure
@bunnies444 10mos10MO
Yes, only if there is proof that the homeowner is doing everything in their power to keep their home.
@9NJDLB212mos12MO
Depending on situation I believe the government should provide assistance
@9PT6LY311mos11MO
Yes, as long as alcoholism, drug abuse, or other forms of irresponsibility played no role in the foreclosure
@9V9LV4Q8mos8MO
Situational - ex. Paid mortgage for 20 years never late and became ill. Couldn’t pay mortgage because medical treatment was 7,000 a month
@9SGS2K29mos9MO
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.
@9Q3B6HP11mos11MO
no, but there should be more help available afterwards and no penalties for first time foreclosures/evictions
@9X38KX77mos7MO
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.
