Should the government provide assistance to homeowners facing foreclosure?

Assistance programs help homeowners who are at risk of losing their homes due to financial difficulties by providing financial support or restructuring loans. Proponents argue that it prevents people from losing their homes and stabilizes communities. Opponents argue that it encourages irresponsible borrowing and is unfair to those who pay their mortgages.

Yes but this should be assessed on a case-by-case basis with assistance reflective of the circumstances.

 @9P34Q94answered…2yrs2Y

Renting should be a feasible, affordable and respectable option so that people are not over stretched into home owning.

This should depend on the circumstances of the homeowner

 @BDYWW9Sanswered…1wk1W

Yes, but only if they can prove their financial difficulties are due to unforeseen circumstances.

 @BD8X4QCanswered…2mos2MO

Yes where it can be proven that no irresponsible borrowing has occurred

 @BD85QR3from New York  answered…2mos2MO

No but reform the education system to provide real world learning in schools not curriculums that teach things that aren’t looked at again once left education. Have more life and career planning in schools to tailor educational paths for students

 @BD5Y3PQanswered…2mos2MO

Yes, but in certain circumstances. It should be means and needs tested. Self inflicted and avoidable foreclosure should not be considered.

 @BD5DZ4W answered…2mos2MO

Yes but depending on why they are at risk of losing their household. For example, if markets tank and one is made redundant and doesn’t have a lot of savings then support is required. If it’s gambling or borrowing or living beyond one’s means then no.
