Oregon has recently received $220 million in federal money to help distressed homeowners avoid foreclosure.

The Mortgage Payment Assistance Program pays the mortgage of a qualified recipient household for an entire year, up to $20,000.  If you have suffered a loss of income of 25% or more, this program may help you keep your home. The deadline to apply is January 14, 2011.  More information is available at http://www.oregonhomeownerhelp.org/
