Housing Help and Services » What to do if:
Are you afraid you may lose your house?

Call us to talk about it. We may be able to help. People fall behind on their mortgages for a variety of reasons. HOME's experienced mortgage default counselors will work with you and your lender to try to keep you from losing your home. HOME will help you analyze the problem and identify your options. If possible, we'll help you negotiate a plan with your lender that will result in bringing and keeping your mortgage current. If that's not possible, we'll help you figure out what to do next so that you are in the best position to buy another home when your situation changes. HOME works with lenders throughout the country, and if you are willing to do what is necessary to bring your loan current, most lenders will rely on HOME's recommendation and work with you.

If you are experiencing or worried about mortgage default, email help@phonehome.org or call (804) 354-0641 and ask to talk with someone about mortgage default.
