"HASP" (The Homeowner Affordability and Stability Plan)

The government documents linked to this page (and to which no copyright claim is made) represent very basic information on a new government program that is designed to assist homeowners who are under financial stress and whose homes have suddenly lost value due to the downturn in the housing market. It encourages and incentivizes modifcation of the terms of qualifying mortgages.

If the reader is interested in considering this program, it is suggested that he or she begin collecting financial information related to his or her family's income, taxes and property values, and seek consultation with a HUD-Approved Housing Counseling Agency.

Another excellent link to review for additional consultation is that of the nonprofit organization: HOPENOW.

Additional information and regulations are anticipated to be released on or after March 3, 2009.

This office cannot charge a fee for housing counseling or modification of a delinquent loan under HASP.
