Do you owe more money on your house than the property is currently worth? If so, you are not alone, as Bloomberg.com has reported that approximately one-fifth of American homeowners are currently underwater in their mortgages. Although many of the homeowners would like to work with their lenders to refinance their mortgages, financial institutions will not work with them. In direct responses to the crisis and to curb the nation’s high foreclosure rate, the government is offering up to $3,000 worth of assistance to underwater mortgage holders who choose to make a “graceful exit” from their investment.

Underwater mortgage holders have limited strategies to get out of their financial quandaries. The most popular options include:

• Deed-in-Lieu of Foreclosure: Typically, a borrower must communicate with their lender and do their best to sell the property under the short sale term guidelines. However, is that fails the borrower can voluntarily transfer ownership of the property to the lender, pending their approval.
• Short Sales: Underwater mortgage holders may opt to sell their property at a price lower than what is due on the mortgage. A lender must approve this transaction and the process can take several months.

Either scenario leaves the homeowner and there family without any shelter, and that is where the $3,000 worth of assistance will come into play. Under the Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives (HAFA) Program, former homeowners can qualify for the assistance that has been designed to help them transition into more affordable housing alternatives.

As with any government assistance program, the homeowner must meet certain criteria in order to get the financial aid including:

• Not qualifying for the Home Affordability Modification Program
• Consumers must first attempt to complete a trial loan modification program
• Must default on at least two payments under the HAMP modification program
• Or work directly with lenders on a short sale or a deed-in-lieu
