Government Official Says HAMP is Not Working Neil Barofsky, special inspector general for the Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP), admitted that far fewer homeowners will receive assistance under the HAMP program and other government efforts to ease foreclosure than originally estimated. Barofsky estimates that only 1.5 million to 2 million homeowners will be helped as opposed to the 4 million originally expected to receive foreclosure help from the government. Barofsky does not believe offering modifications is a meaningful goal of the foreclosure program, since so few have actually been helped and many who have received modifications are redefaulting. Herbert M. Allison, assistant Treasury secretary for financial stability said the program should be measured not just by the number of permanent modifications made, but also by the assistance given to provide Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure and Short Sale assistance. Obviously, the enhancements to the HAMP program announced on March 26 are an indication that new strategies and incentives are needed if millions of people are going to be helped to avoid foreclosure. Pets Suffer in Foreclosures Too It’s not just two-legged homeowners who are suffering when a home is foreclosed upon. Foreclosure is leading to a surge of abandoned pets in many communities. In many cases, homeowners forced out of Continue reading Govt – HAMP is Not Working
