The homeowners must currently live in the homes. The mortgage was issued between June 2005 and January 2007. The homeowner must be spending at least 31% of their gross monthly income on mortgage payments. The homeowners facing foreclosure can even be current on their mortgage payments, but show they cannot continue making payments. This is a departure from current practice of waiting till you start getting behind on your mortgage p[payments and begging for some relief to save your home from foreclosing.
