Help For SC Home Owners Facing Foreclosure

Need help with your mortgage?

The S.C. Homeownership and Employment Lending Program has given about $26 million in aid to South Carolinians facing foreclosure since January 2011, but that's not even 10 percent of the $295 million it was given by the U.S. Treasury after South Carolina became one of five states to qualify in 2010 for the Obama administration's "Hardest-Hit Fund," based on high unemployment rates


Aid per home is capped at $36,000, meaning the program still has the resources to help you or someone you know.


The program has been endorsed by most of the large lenders in the state, including Citibank, Bank of America and Wells Fargo.


Applicants must meet at least one of several criteria: being unemployed, underemployed, dealing with the death of a spouse or facing unforeseen health issues.

The program is a nonprofit division of the SC state Housing Finance and Development Authority.
