As the year draws to a close, the Homeownership Protection Program (HOPP) has been working tirelessly to protect homeowners across New York state. Recently, the Office of the Attorney General (AG) announced a year-end update on the HOPP’s achievements in providing assistance and resources to struggling homeowners.
The HOPP is a free service that helps New York residents facing foreclosure.
The program provides legal, counseling, and financial assistance to help homeowners stay in their homes and avoid foreclosure.
The HOPP was established in 2012, and since then, it has helped tens of thousands of homeowners across the state.
According to the AG’s office, the HOPP has been particularly effective this year, providing critical support to homeowners affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The program has helped homeowners access mortgage forbearance, loan modifications, and other resources to stay afloat during these difficult times.
The AG’s office reported that the HOPP helped more than 16,000 homeowners this year, providing a total of $23.7 million in funding for legal, counseling, and financial assistance.
The program also helped over 10,000 homeowners access mortgage forbearance and loan modifications, which helped them avoid foreclosure and stay in their homes.
The HOPP’s impact is particularly significant on Staten Island, where the program has helped hundreds of homeowners avoid foreclosure.
The Staten Island Not-For-Profit Association (SINFPA), a partner of the HOPP program, has been instrumental in the program’s success on Staten Island.
In an interview with silive.com, Staten Island Not-For-Profit Association (SINFPA) Executive Director, Jennifer Dudley, said, “The HOPP program has been a lifeline for many Staten Island homeowners who were facing foreclosure.
The program has provided critical resources and support, helping them stay in their homes and avoid foreclosure.”
She added, “The HOPP program has been particularly important this year, as many homeowners have been struggling due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We’re grateful for the program’s support and the partnership with the AG’s office.”
As the year ends, the HOPP program remains committed to supporting homeowners in New York state.
The program will continue to provide free legal, counseling, and financial assistance to homeowners facing foreclosure, helping them stay in their homes and avoid financial ruin.
