Loan Modification Assistance Program

Summary Guidelines 

1. Program Overview The Loan Modification Assistance Program will provide funds to 

assist financially distressed borrowers who are in the process of 

modifying their home loans. 

Under the Program, a one-time contribution of funds will be made 

to a homeowner’s lender/servicer to be used to fill a financial gap 

that limits a homeowner’s eligibility for a loan modification. 

Funds may be used to reduce the outstanding principal balance, 

pay delinquent escrow, arrearages, or strategically apply 

resources to ensure a Net Present Value test is positive. 

Modification must result in a loan to value ratio of no more than 

125 percent, a total debt-to-income of up to or less than 50 

percent, and a mortgage payment of no more than 31 percent 

including principal, interest, taxes and insurance. The Program is 

designed to work with both HAMP and non-HAMP 

modifications.

2. Program Goals To provide a quick infusion of funds that will allow for a 

successful loan modification. Without these additional funds, 

homeowners would be ineligible for modification. 

3. Target Population/ 

Areas 

The Program will be available in all counties in Oregon for 

households with incomes equal to or less than 120 percent of state 

median income. The substantial majority of funding (80 percent) 

will be provided to those counties identified as hardest hit (20).

4. Program Allocation 

(Excluding 

Administrative 

Expenses) 

$26,000,000.00

5. Borrower Eligibility 

Criteria 

• Current household income equal to or less than 120 percent 

of state median income. 

• Homeowner must have either been denied for, or must be 

in the process of receiving, a loan modification. 

• Loan must have originated before January 1, 2009. 

• Recipients must show capability to maintain mortgage after 

modification or loan preservation assistance. 

• Homeowner must provide a financial hardship affidavit. 

• After modification, must have a loan to value ratio of no 

more than 125 percent. 
TAMPA/134159.1 

6. Property/Loan 

Eligibility Criteria 

• Properties receiving resources must be owner occupied. 

• Must be a single family home located in Oregon. 

7. Program Exclusions • Owners of second homes or investment properties. 

• Those with liquid resources sufficient to make four or more 

months of mortgage payments 

8. Structure of 

Assistance 

Funding from the Program will be structured as a five-year nonrecourse, zero-percent forgivable, non-amortizing loan in which a 

second lien is recorded on the property. Twenty percent of the 

loan will be forgiven for each year it is outstanding. If property is 

sold or refinanced prior to the loan termination date, funds will be 

recovered should sufficient equity be available from the 

transaction. Recovered funds will be recycled in order to provide 

additional program assistance until December 31, 2017, at which 

time any recovered funds will be returned to Treasury.

9. Per Household 

Assistance 

Maximum is $10,000.

10. Duration of Assistance One time payment on behalf of borrower to lender/servicer. 

11. Estimated Number of 

Participating 

Households 

An estimated 2,600 homeowners will receive assistance. 

12. Program Inception/ 

Duration 

The Program will be operational within 150 days from time of 

application approval by Treasury. The Program may be ready 

sooner due to the current pipeline of outstanding modifications 

that may be eligible for this assistance. Pending speedy 

resolutions of modifications, the Program should operate for no 

more than one year. 

13. Program Interactions 

with Other Programs 

(e.g. other HFA 

programs) 

None. 

14. Program Interactions 

with HAMP 

Where the Program interacts with HAMP and otherwise eligible 

HAMP applicants fail a modification test due to a gap in financial 

resources of $10,000 or less, this Program would serve to bridge 

that gap. These funds will also interact with any other approved 

Treasury programs that in combination will allow for a successful 

loan modification under HAMP.

15. Program Leverage 

with Other Financial 

Resources 

It is not anticipated that funds will be matched; however, to the 

extent that services/investors are willing and a match will be 

advantageous to the borrower, the Program will allow for 

lender/servicer match. 

The Program will work with non-HAMP modification programs 

offered through lenders/servicers. In those cases, Program funds 

will be used when an investment of $10,000 or less, will facilitate 

a successful loan modification.

Summary Guidelines

1. Program Overview The Mortgage Payment Assistance Program will provide up to 

nine months of mortgage payment assistance with a required 1:1 

match from the investor for a total anticipated benefit of up to 18 

months of assistance. It is expected that the investor match be 

provided concurrently with funds from the Program. This 

temporary assistance will be provided on behalf of unemployed or 

substantially underemployed. 

The state’s foreclosure counseling network would serve as the 

administrative entry point for initial eligibility screening. This 

Program will work as both a stand-alone program or as a feeder 

into Loan Preservation Assistance or Transitional Assistance 

Programs.

2. Program Goals To provide unemployed and substantially underemployed Oregon 

homeowners the opportunity to stay in their homes while they 

search for employment. 

3. Target Population/ 

Areas 

The Program will be available in all counties of Oregon for 

households with incomes equal to or less than 120 percent of state 

median income. The substantial majority of funding (80 percent) 

will be provided to those counties identified as financially 

distressed (20).

4. Program Allocation 

(Excluding 

Administrative 

Expenses) 

$62,159,037.44

5. Borrower Eligibility 

Criteria 

• Unemployed or substantially underemployed. 

• Household income equal to or less than 120 percent of state 

median income. 

• A reasonable expectation that recipients would be able to 

qualify for a modification in the future should they become 

reemployed. 

• Loan must have originated before January 1, 2009. 

• Homeowner must provide a financial hardship affidavit. 

6. Property/Loan 

Eligibility Criteria 

• Properties receiving resources must be owner occupied. 

• Must be a single family home located in Oregon. 

7. Program Exclusions • Owners of second homes or investment properties. 

• Those with liquid resources sufficient to make four or more 

months of mortgage payments.. 

8. Structure of 

Assistance 

The Program is envisioned as a revolving fund. The Program will 

make a five-year, non-recourse, zero-percent, forgivable, non-
TAMPA/134159.1 

amortizing loan in which a second lien is recorded on the 

property. Twenty percent of the loan will be forgiven for each 

year the loan is outstanding. If the property is sold or refinanced 

prior to the loan termination date, the Program will recover funds 

should sufficient equity be available from the transaction. The 

Program will recycle recovered funds in order to provide 

additional program assistance until December 31, 2017, at which 

time any recovered funds will be returned to Treasury.

9. Per Household 

Assistance 

The Program will provide up to $1,360 per month with a total 

benefit cap of $12,250 to borrowers.

10. Duration of Assistance Nine months (18 months with lender/servicer required 1:1 

matching). 

11. Estimated Number of 

Participating 

Households 

It is expected that an estimated 4,000 homeowners will receive 

assistance under the Program. 

12. Program Inception/ 

Duration 

The Program will be operational December 2010. The Program is 

expected to last 24 months. 

13. Program Interactions 

with Other Programs 

(e.g. other HFA 

programs) 

The Program should lead recipients directly into Loan 

Preservation Assistance, Transitional Assistance, or another 

existing loan modification program.

14. Program Interactions 

with HAMP 

Under certain circumstances, assistance recipients will move 

directly into HAMP or other modification programs. See 15 

regarding interaction with UP.

15. Program Leverage 

with Other Financial 

Resources 

Lenders/servicers are required to match mortgage payment 

subsidy funds by at least a 1:1 ratio. It is expected that the 

investor match be provided concurrently with funds from the 

Program. Examples of this match/leverage include the Home 

Affordable Unemployment Program (UP) which allows for a 

three-month forbearance period. This will be a key tool in 

obtaining the 18 months of assistance that is necessary for the 

Program’s success. Program assistance may kick in after the 

borrower exhausts available UP benefits.

transition to affordable housing expediently.
