Help for Unemployed Homeowners Is On Its Way!

This week, homeowners in 33 states will be able to begin applying for a new $1 billion federal loan program to help those who are in danger of losing their homes due to involuntary unemployment or underemployment.

PICO National Network helped lead the fight to win this new program – the Emergency Homeowner Loan Program – and has been working hard to get it up and running as quickly as possible. Now, we want to make sure that as many borrowers as possible receive assistance.

The application process is only open through July 22, so it’s important that we spread the word quickly!

Tell your friends, family and community members that they can find the application materials, as well as more information about what states are part of the program and who qualifies, at: www.nw.org/network/foreclosure/nfmcp/EHLPconsumers.asp

Fifteen million Americans continue to face unemployment, another ten million are working fewer hours than they would like, and countless more are earning less money than they did before the recession.

If you’re working hard trying to find a job, you shouldn’t also have to also worry about losing your home. That’s what this program will begin to do for many homeowners.

Help us make it a success. Spread the word today.

Thank you,

PICO National Network
