NJ will aid unemployed homeowners at risk of foreclosure

New Jersey homeowners who have lost their jobs and are struggling to pay their mortgages can get no-interest loans from the state under a program announced Monday. Under the New Jersey HomeKeeper Program, homeowners who are under- or unemployed can get loans totaling up to $48,000 for up to 24 months to make their mortgage payments. The loans will be forgiven after 10 years if the homeowner stays in the home.
