AMHA has joined forces with the County of Summit Department of Job & Family Services (CSDJFS) under the County Executive Office to address the foreclosure crisis. Eligible Summit County homeowners whose income is at or below 300% of the Federal Poverty Guide Line and who are at risk of losing their home due to predatory lending, financial mismanagement, or job loss will be offered a full range of housing services. AMHA will provide assistance to coordinate services of local and national housing agencies as well as lenders. One-time mortgage rescue funds up to $5,000 are available for eligible homeowners who complete mandatory financial management education and can continue to sustain monthly mortgage payments. A lien will be attached to all home mortgages receiving the one-time mortgage rescue funds to ensure that allocated funds are utilized in accordance with program requirements.
