In July, the House of Representatives passed the American Housing Rescue and Foreclosure Prevention Act. This legislation established the HOPE for Homeowners Program, which will help 400,000 families keep their homes and maintain neighboring property values.

Borrowers who are in danger of losing their homes may refinance into a government backed, fixed rate mortgage that is insured by the Federal Housing Administration. Lenders will be required to revalue the home to ensure that they do not profit at taxpayer expense.
