Unemployed California homeowners now can apply for up to $3,000 a month in mortgage assistance to tide them over for up to six months while looking for work.
The Unemployed Mortgage Assistance Program (UMA) is the first of four programs the state is scheduled to roll out as part of an initiative called “Keep Your Home California.” The programs are supported by $2 billion in federal dollars provided through the Hardest Hit Fund.
Eligible homeowners who are struggling to make their mortgage payments after suffering a job loss may qualify for assistance.
