NYS-MAP
The New York State Mortgage Assistance Program (NYS-MAP) provides home-saving loans to families who are at risk of foreclosure. By averting foreclosure, the program also protects surrounding property values and preserves neighborhood stability.
Program Overview
NYS-MAP is a foreclosure-prevention loan fund that helps homeowners who are unable to get assistance from other sources.
- NYS-MAP funds can be used to bring a mortgage current, help get a modification, or pay off a mortgage completely.
- NYS-MAP funds can also be used to pay off property tax arrears or other debts that could lead to foreclosure.
- Eligible homeowners must have experienced a financial hardship and must demonstrate an ability to afford their housing payments after receiving NYS-MAP assistance.
- Applicants for NYS-MAP loans must connect with a free counselor or lawyer in the Homeowner Protection Program (HOPP) network.
