Good News In Florida

If you're in Florida and having trouble making your mortgage payments because you're either unemployed or underemployed, you just got some good news! The Florida Housing Finance Corporation, which has been providing financial assistance to make mortgage payments since last October on a test/limited pilot program, has announced that the program is now going statewide. Beginning on April 18 (which by the way for this Boston native is also Patriots Day--pretty good symbolic coincidence, don't you think?), homeowners who are out of work or just hanging on in a job level well below what they previously were before the recession gutted the economy, can make application for this assistance. It is estimated that the number of those qualifying for this program will more than double. It is directed at those up to 180days delinquent in mortgage payments. It will pay up to $12,000 for delinquencies, for up to six months, or until you can resume making the payments yourself, whichever cones first.Also, you must make at least 25% of the monthly payment yourself, minimum amount of $70. For more info immediately get in touch with the folks at Florida Housing Finance Corp!
And, as always, GOOD LUCK!
