FARMINGTON HILLS, MI (July 18, 2011) – GreenPath Debt Solutions, a nationwide non-profit financial organization and national housing counseling intermediary, is reminding homeowners that they need to act fast and submit paperwork for the Emergency Homeowners' Loan Program (EHLP), by this Friday, July 22.
“The application process ends this Friday, July 22, and is the first step in providing $1 billion to help an estimated 30,000 homeowners in 27 states and Puerto Rico avoid foreclosure,” said Setina Briggs-Kelly, GreenPath housing manager. “The program will assist homeowners who have experienced a reduction in income and who are at risk of foreclosure, due to involuntary unemployment or underemployment, economic conditions or medical condition.”
Under EHLP program guidelines, eligible homeowners can qualify for an interest-free loan, which pays a portion of their monthly mortgage for up to two years, or up to $50,000, whichever comes first. The EHLP program will pay a portion of an approved applicant’s monthly mortgage including missed mortgage payments or past due charges including principal, interest, taxes, insurances, and attorney fees.
