HOPE for Homeowners Program

The HOPE for Homeowners program allows homeowners who have difficulty paying their mortgages to refinance into FHA-insured mortgages. For borrowers who refinance under HOPE for Homeowners, lenders will be required to “write down” the size of the mortgage to a maximum of 90 percent of the home’s new appraised value. The program will offer 30-year fixed rate mortgages. This program is a good option for homeowners whose home values have fallen below their loan amount. The FHA will insure up to $300 billion in new loans. The program will last through September 30, 2011.
