Should the government provide assistance to homeowners facing foreclosure?

No. Homeowners get themselves into their own troubles, they should get out of it themselves too without the citizens of this country offering aide.

Yes, but only during certain periods or for certain reasons.

No, but the government should not be the reason why the person is facing foreclosure.

Predatory mortgages and rent hiking should be monitored and a form of loan forgiveness for unforeseen tragedies should be provided.

I think this should based on the financial status of the homeowners

I think it depends on the situation, like if they were just entirely irresponsible than no but otherwise yes.

Yes, as long as drug abuse, alcoholism, or other irresponsible behavior weren’t factors in the foreclosure

Yes, but require an application that considers the circumstances surrounding the foreclosure

It depends on the circumstances leading to foreclosure

Yes, but after an independent audit of their finances and situation over the term of the loan.

Yes but only for people who pay taxes, have a clean criminal record, and have made notices to the bank about their failure to pay their bills.

Yes, IF the government is the cause ie COVID lock down

Yes, if they are going to give some of the equity to the state or city where this is. It can't be or free because they have an asset that they could do something with.

Yes, if it is for the homeowners' primary residence.

Only in ensuring they have a place to live in the same school district after they lose their house

Yes, but only for homeowners earning up to 175% of median income or 250% of poverty level.

Yes and No. Ultimately depends on the homeowners situation

Yes, as long as drug abuse, alcoholism, or other forms of irresponsibility aren’t a factor in the foreclosure

Only if the foreclosure is due to inflation a recession type of issues, not for personal lack of money management resulting in the foreclosure.

No, but the promotion and encouragement on how to balance a mortgage should be promoted.

yes, only if brought to a trial and concluded by a jury knowing the facts and not the emotion to not cloud the ruling

Yes, in a capitalist system, but housing should really be free

Yes, if they show that foreclosure was the only option for them.

Yes, in the form of legal representation to prevent illegal foreclosures.

Yes, only if they can prove that the reason for the foreclosure was out of their control

If it's something that's happened under the person's control for example market crash or someone who is the provider dies than yes

depending on specific situation. certain professions should be protected ie veterans, teachers, public servants, elderly, etc... healthy working age people should only be eligible for assistance if they are actively participating in programs that help with employability.

Yes, for those whose financial hardship leading to foreclosure are due directly because of government's policies such as COVID restrictions, high interest rates, causing inflation by uncontrolled spending, etc.

No, unless the foreclosure is due to malfeasance by a financial institution.

No, if the owner is at fault for not paying. Yes if it is due to job loss or other factors like health reasons.

Yes, if major events, death, job loss, disaster, etc. Are at the root of foreclosure

Yes but they would need to prove why they can't pay their mortgage.

It would depend on what lead to the foreclosure. Poor money management then no. Life altering event such as job loss or hospitalization then yes

Yes, but only if alcoholism, drug abuse, or irresponsible borrowing aren’t a factor in the foreclosure.

Depends on the situation. Owning multiple properties should preclude qualifying for assistance.

It could go either way depending on the situation of the homeowner.

If the person is facing foreclosure due to their own faults they should receive no help. But if they’re facing foreclosure due to illness or emergencies and lost work then they should have access to programs that help keep their homes

I feel like they should, only if the person has an actual reason for it and try to get their payments in.

Yes, and repossession of homes by financial institutions should be heavily restricted to high earners.

It depends on the situation such as an accident has caused them not to be able to work that was not their fault

I feel like if someone is possibly losing their house because they only have means of getting money from divisibility or any other kind of government assistance the government should help them have a stable living space.

yes as long as it is being used for people who actually need it

Yes, based on the circumstances that led to foreclosure. High income families the made risky investments should not be the beneficiary of assistance, but small business owners should.

No, but refuse to allow police to be used for enforcement of foreclosure evictions and adopt pro-squatter laws and a Housing First policy

Absolutely, it's essential for the government to offer support to homeowners experiencing foreclosure. Providing assistance in these situations can help prevent individuals and families from losing their homes and facing financial distress. Programs that offer counseling, loan modifications, or refinancing options can be crucial in helping homeowners navigate through challenging times and potentially avoid foreclosure.

Yes, but this should be reported on their credit reports as a result

Yes, but only for working homeowners without a criminal history or a history of alcoholism or drug abuse.

Yes, but have someone help them analyze their finances to put them on a better path

Depends on circumstances. If it's like the bank bailout, absolutely. Private citizens ended up getting punished for governmental Muck up. If it's a result from poor decisions, then no.
