The HEMAP program is officially back in business as of today! Thanks to the efforts of many advocates and homeowners the Homeowners Emergency Mortgage Assistance Program has been restored in Pennsylvania. Funding has come from the National Mortgage Settlement which resulted from the law suit by the state Attorney’s General against the largest mortgage banks. 90% of the $66 million coming to PA is targeted for HEMAP over the next five years.
