Homeowner Assistance

Programs
The State of Michigan provides several programs to help homeowners who are risk of default or foreclosure. These programs can assist homeowners who need help with:

• Mortgage payment assistance for homeowners currently receiving Michigan unemployment compensation.
• Rescue funds for homeowners who have fallen behind in their mortgage payments or past due property tax payments due to no fault of their own.
• Federal matching funds for principal reductions for homeowners who can no longer afford their mortgage payments as a result of reduced income.
