mediaries approved by the Department of Housing 
and Urban Development (HUD) (with match to be 
determined by NRC based on affordability and the 
economic conditions of an area; a match also may be

the default and foreclosure of mortgages of owner- 
occupied single-family homes that are at risk of such 
foreclosure. Other than areas with high rates of de-
faults and foreclosures, grants may also be provided 
to approved counseling intermediaries based on a ge-
ographic analysis of the Nation by NRC which de-
termines where there is a prevalence of mortgages 
that are risky and likely to fail, including any trends 
for mortgages that are likely to default and face 
foreclosure. A State Housing Finance Agency may 
also be eligible where the State Housing Finance

(2) Mortgage foreclosure mitigation assistance 
shall only be made available to homeowners of 
owner-occupied homes with mortgages in default or 
in danger of default. These mortgages shall likely be 
subject to a foreclosure action and homeowners will 
be provided such assistance that shall consist of ac-

retained pursuant to such activity or another posi-

(3) The use of mortgage foreclosure mitigation 
assistance by approved counseling intermediaries
