Refinancing Home Mortgage with Government Help is Available

It used to be that refinancing home mortgage was to avoid foreclosure and was necessary for irresponsible borrowers.

But now because of a shaky and unstable economy complicated by low wages and the possibility of job lay-offs many families are needing mortgage help in order to stay in their homes.

The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, commonly referred to as a bailout of the U.S. financial system, is a law authorizing the United States Secretary of the Treasury to spend up to US$700 billion to purchase distressed assets, especially mortgage-backed securities, and make capital injections into banks. 

 Foreclosure avoidance and homeowner assistance

For mortgages involved in assets purchased by the Treasury Department, the Treasury Secretary is required to implement a plan that seeks to maximize assistance for homeowners, and encourage the services of the underlying mortgages to take advantage of the HOPE for Homeowners Program of the National Housing Act or other available programs to minimize foreclosures.
Furthermore, the Secretary is allowed to use loan guarantees and credit enhancements to encourage loan modifications to avert foreclosure.
