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.

If it's their only house and are going to be homeless without help
@9ZHZL241wk1W
I think it should depend on the circumstances and past financial history and current circumstances.
@9Z9ZCV72wks2W
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.
@9YKBYMX2wks2W
Yes, only under specific circumstances and be strictly regulated to prevent irresponsible borrowing
@9YK7T9B2wks2W
Yes, but there should be regulations on who can receive this assistance, for what reasons, and how many times.
@9WK3LGV4wks4W
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.
@9WGGM9M1mo1MO
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.
@9W4ZCYF1mo1MO
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.
