Assistance programs help homeowners who are at risk of losing their homes due to financial difficulties by providing financial support or restructuring loans. Proponents argue that it prevents people from losing their homes and stabilizes communities. Opponents argue that it encourages irresponsible borrowing and is unfair to those who pay their mortgages.

Mortgage rates should be lower and locked in longer. No bank should give a mortgage for a house you can't afford
@9ZTXY876 days6D
Yes, because they will be homeless otherwise. Giving them money might be useless—but if that were an option, the government should instead tell them to buy a cheaper home and support them in that endeavour.

If it's their only house and are going to be homeless without help
@9ZHZL243wks3W
I think it should depend on the circumstances and past financial history and current circumstances.
@9Z9ZCV74wks4W
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.
@9YKBYMX4wks4W
Yes, only under specific circumstances and be strictly regulated to prevent irresponsible borrowing
@9YK7T9B4wks4W
Yes, but there should be regulations on who can receive this assistance, for what reasons, and how many times.
@9WK3LGV1mo1MO
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.
