Making Home Affordable

The Mortgage Loan Modification Plan

The administration's plan to stem foreclosures will provide incentives and payments to mortgage lenders and homeowners to promote mortgage loan modifications. The list of recipients below shows the allotment to each participating servicer, but some of that money will also go to lenders and borrowers. So far, the Treasury has set aside a total of $35.6 billion.

You can see a breakdown of how many trial modifications each servicer has begun here.

The program also calls for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to absorb as much as $25 billion in costs to modify loans that the companies own or guarantee.
