I for one will not be voting for you. Obama’s plan has help few just like his Political agenda. The large banks are making more then ever before. Thanks for nothing.
Thank you for contacting me about helping struggling homeowners stay in their homes. I appreciate the time you have taken to share your thoughts with me on this important issue.
As our nation continues to experience one of the deepest recessions in generations, millions of families are facing home foreclosure or are unable to refinance into a more affordable mortgage that reflects their home’s current value. In response to the housing crisis, President Barack Obama has created the Making Home Affordable program to help families about to lose their homes and to provide incentives to encourage lenders to negotiate more affordable mortgages. For more information on this housing program, please visit: http://makinghomeaffordable.gov/ or call 1-888-995-4673.
Unfortunately, many families that have contacted their mortgage servicer to modify their mortgage or seek assistance have been rebuffed or worse, never reached their lender. Those who do reach their servicers are waiting on average 45 to 60 days for a response. Too many financial institutions that benefitted from taxpayer-funded support are ignoring the needs of distressed homeowners. That’s why I signed a letter to the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) urging it to further encourage mortgage servicers to modify eligible troubled mortgages, provide greater responsiveness to homeowners seeking assistance, and expand the reach of existing homeowner assistance programs. Be assured I will keep your thoughts in mind as I continue to fight in Congress to help struggling homeowners stay in their homes.
Again, it’s good to hear from you. The people of Marin and Sonoma counties are the most important voices I listen to as I serve in Congress.
Sincerely,
Lynn Woolsey
Member of Congress
