Should the government provide assistance to homeowners facing foreclosure?

I think it should depend on the circumstances and past financial history and current circumstances.

I think it depends on why they are facing a foreclosure. If it is because they choose to live outside of their means then they should not receive assistance. If they are facing foreclosure because of job loss and are actively making an effort to help themselves then they should receive assistance.

Yes, only under specific circumstances and be strictly regulated to prevent irresponsible borrowing

Yes, but there should be regulations on who can receive this assistance, for what reasons, and how many times.

there should be some sort of assistance that one would apply for. I feel that some small assistance may help a family in a tight situation and get them back on track without a total loss.

depending on the scenario whether foreclosure is their fault or just an act of God, if it is their own fault than the government should not provide support, if it is truly an act of God then I believe that is when they need assistance.

They should provide assistance only for properties up to a certain amount. If someone bought a luxury property and are spending well beyond their means and can afford to downsize, they should not be helped. But for average families in a small home, townhome or condo, should be helped.
