The Homeowner's Emergency Mortgage Assistance Program (H.E.M.A.P.) provides mortgage assistance for Pennsylvania families in
danger of losing their home to foreclosure. The program was created by Act 91 of 1983, and is the only one of its kind in the nation. It
helps homeowners who, through no fault of their own, are financially unable to make their mortgage payments regardless of income.
Program participants who receive loans to help bring delinquent payments current may be eligible for continuing payment assistance for
as long as 24 months. Under the program, mortgage payments are made directly to lenders on the homeowner's behalf.
