This new program Foreclosure Alternatives Program is an extension of the Making Homes Affordable. It is set up to help streamline the process in offering homeowners loan modification and if they cannot qualify for a loan modification, the lender/servicer will offer the homeowner the option of doing a short sale (3-12 months) and if that does not work they may offer the homeowner the option of signing over the Deed in lieu of foreclosure.
This program is good in that it does try to help homeowners. Although it will not help keep homeowners in their homes, but if not allow them to use the other options. The main point here is Do not ignore the letters and end up in foreclosure when you could have avoided it!
