              The federal government has allocated funding to help pay the mortgages of qualified homeowners who are unemployed or underemployed through no fault of their own. Troubled homeowners in all 67 counties who want to apply for HHF financial assistance will be able to do so at https://www.flhardesthithelp.org. Homeowners who qualify for financial assistance may receive up to six (6) months of monthly mortgage payments (including escrowed mortgage-related payments) and/or funds to pay past due mortgage payments to bring the mortgage current; these funds are paid directly to the loan servicer/lender. If you want to utilize the program you can contact the Center for Independent Living. We can help you complete the paperwork to see if you qualify for the program. If you would like more information please contact Dan Ryan at dryan@cilorlando.org.

    • No it doesn’t matter. Sometimes sinlge parents can qualify for certain grants or loans that a married couple would not qualify for. It is mostly based on your credit and income though.

    • Anyone looking for help with their mrgtoage would do well to watch this video first. The information there can save your time, your money, and your house!! nice work.

    • Ever since I’ve been 3 months late on my moaggrte payment, I get 2-3 phone calls per day from loan modification companies promising to save me. I’d like to believe them, but it’s all over the media to watch out for these kind of companies. This video has been helpful for me in wading through the sea of scams.

  5. Hi this is kind of of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding knowledge so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
