Know Your Options: One-on-One Guidance Available from HUD-Certified Housing Counselors
- July 3, 2021
Mortgage and renters relief programs are set to expire. Understand your options with GreenPath.
At the end of July 2021, mortgage forbearance, renters protections and other relief options are expiring. This means that for many households, past due balances will need attention.
Budgeting to keep in our homes is a key priority when it comes to personal finances. Getting guidance from HUD-Certified Housing Counselors helps people cope with the uncertainty.
The Mortgage Bankers Association estimates 3.8 million homeowners are in forbearance plans, which could turn into foreclosure if the borrower cannot resume payments when the forbearance ends.
With deadlines on the horizon, the earlier borrowers reach out to GreenPath’s HUD-certified counselors who can examine their entire financial picture and prepare them to resume payments, the better.
