Mortgage Assistance Program (MAP)
HOW IT WORKS
Our Mortgage Assistance Program (MAP) creates a temporary bridge to help stabilize your housing situation and avoid issues associated with delinquent payments on your mortgage, HOA, and/or property taxes.

Process

INTAKE: The homeowner needing assistance meets with a Housing Counseling Agency to discuss their situation and completes all disclosures. Locate a Housing Agency

UNDERWRITING: Our Applicant Review Committee reviews each application and responds with an approval or denial (within our two-week approval time frame)
