I believe that it is important for the federal government to help people keep their homes and will continue to work with my colleagues to look at ways to reform the lending market and provide assistance to struggling homeowners. There is help available for homeowners who are falling behind in their mortgage payments and faced with foreclosure. If you are falling behind, do not wait to take action. Below you will find a list of resources available to you. I hope you find this information helpful.
