The “hardest hit” program is for unemployed and underemployed homeowners.

The money can be used to make mortgage payments for up to 18 months or to make a delinquent loan current. It goes directly to the lenders and does not need to be paid back unless the home is sold within five years or the homeowner goes into foreclosure.

Those who qualify may receive up to 35-thousand dollars.
