Emergency Homeowners' Loan Program Deadline Is July 22; GreenPath Debt Solutions Accepting Applications From Colorado Homeowners

Eligible homeowners to receive up to $50,000 in assistance; Call 888-893-2711

FORT COLLINS, Colo., July 14, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- GreenPath Debt Solutions, a nationwide non-profit financial organization and national housing counseling intermediary, with local offices in Fort Collins, Longmont and Greeley, is reminding homeowners that they need to act fast and submit paperwork for the Emergency Homeowners' Loan Program (EHLP), by the mandatory July 22 deadline.

"This program will provide $1 billion to help an estimated 30,000 homeowners in 27 states and Puerto Rico avoid foreclosure," said Setina Briggs-Kelly, GreenPath housing manager.  "The program will assist homeowners who have experienced a reduction in income and who are at risk of foreclosure, due to involuntary unemployment or underemployment, due to economic conditions or a medical condition."

Under EHLP program guidelines, eligible homeowners can qualify for an interest-free loan, which pays a portion of their monthly mortgage for up to two years, or up to $50,000, whichever comes first. The EHLP program will pay a portion of an approved applicant's monthly mortgage including missed mortgage payments or past due charges including principal, interest, taxes, insurances, and attorney fees.  The loan does not have to be repaid, as long as the homeowner continues making mortgage payments on time for five years.

She remarked that homeowners should contact GreenPath at (888) 893-2711 to see if they are eligible for this program, or to learn more about other GreenPath housing programs and services available.

Homeowners have a little over a week to call and see if they are eligible for the program as open enrollment ends Friday, July 22. Briggs-Kelly stresses that homeowners should call as soon as possible.

"It is imperative that homeowners reach out to GreenPath as soon as possible, to determine eligibility and then get all the necessary paperwork in order," Briggs-Kelly remarked.
