Federal rules that may protect you, whatever state you live in.

Coverage depends on your loan, your servicer and whether the home is your primary residence. California has a law actually named the Homeowner Bill of Rights; other states protect homeowners through their own notice, mediation, cure and redemption rules.

What is the Homeowner Bill of Rights?

California has a law officially named the Homeowner Bill of Rights. Every other state protects homeowners through its own mix of notice, cure, mediation, reinstatement and redemption rules, and federal mortgage-servicing rules add another layer when your loan is covered. We help you understand which protections may apply to your home.

Can you stop my foreclosure?

No one can honestly promise that. We help you understand your options, prepare what your servicer asks for, and know when to bring in an attorney. If you have court papers or a sale date, follow every deadline in your notices and get legal help right away.

What does it cost?

Your first consultation is free and confidential. A specialist explains membership and any costs clearly during that call, before you agree to anything.

Are you a government program?

No. Home Rescue NPO is a private membership organization with no affiliation with any government agency or program, and it is not your lender or a law firm. Free HUD-approved housing counseling is also available at 1-800-569-4287.

Do you help with debts other than my mortgage?

Yes. Many homeowners in hardship are also juggling credit cards, medical bills or car loans. Your specialist looks at the whole household picture, with your home first.

Which states do you serve?

Homeowners in all 50 states. Rights and timelines differ by state, so we always start by confirming where your property is.
