Home Affordable Modification Program


Federal Home Affordable Modification Plan

The federal government and HUD sponsored U.S. President Barack Obama’s Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP) has been specially designed to help over 4 million struggling American home owners avoid foreclosure, and save their home by availing affordable interest rates as well as favorable terms and conditions linked with their mortgages. The objective of the program is to provide sustainable home loan modification facilities so the borrower can redeem the mortgage dues without being financially distressed. The program also provides home affordable modification program guidelines which can be used by the entire mortgage industry as a base for all future home loan modifications.


The HAMP facility is available to applicants who’ve taken their mortgages on or before January 1, 2009 and is expected to last till December 31, 2012. The borrower should be 31 or more days delinquent on the monthly payments to be considered for HAMP, and the loan modification can only be availed once. The home loan modification terms and conditions can’t be further altered once availed. The loan servicer is required to carry out an evaluation of the mortgage’s current market value before providing the modification facilities, and he or she can do it using either a Government Sponsored Enterprise (GSE), an Automated Valuation Model (AVM), or a Broker Price Opinion (BPO). In addition, the property valuation can’t be more than 60 days old in all cases. The federal home affordable modification program (HAMP) is an effective way to stop the foreclosure from taking place and save your home.
