Iowa Mortgage Help

"After I was laid off from my job and I had my first child, I knew I
was in a bad position. When my lender started foreclosure proceedings,
Iowa Mortgage Help got involved. The process was very smooth and my rep
stayed in contact with me, and even afterward called to make sure everything
was going okay."
-- Zakiya Jenkins
"In August 2006, my husband and I were notified by the mortgage company
that our rate was going to adjust. I contacted them about locking in a
rate, only to be told that they wouldn't be able to help. Our house
payment went up $700/month. We struggled to put gas in our vehicles to
get to work and to buy groceries. Then, a friend gave me the number to
Iowa Mortgage Help. We are convinced that without the vast knowledge and
assistance of Iowa Mortgage Help, we would have lost our home."

The Iowa Mortgage Help initiative's purpose is to develop a planned, integrated response to the housing crisis with the strategic intent to assist in helping all impacted Iowans find the best possible solutions to their home mortgage issues.
Our goal is to reach 95 percent of Iowans with the message of assistance and counseling available through Iowa Mortgage Help and the partner/sub-grantee agencies available to serve their needs.
Also, we want to motivate at least 10,000 homeowners to contact one of the agencies through the Iowa Mortgage Help Hotline, this Web site and/or by personal visit, allowing them to receive the counseling benefits of this program for their mortgage issues.
The Iowa Mortgage Help initiative is made up of the following organizations:
