NEW YORK STATE MORTGAGE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

Today Newsday reported on some first loan closings made under the program

According to the article:

"The state received 146 applications for the loan program in just over three months -- 41 from Long Island. Twenty-six loans have been approved since mid-November. Applicants are eligible for up to $40,000, according to the statement."

In my view, a very small amount - it would appear that the program is not aimed at the majority of homeowners who are in foreclosure due to "unaffordable housing".
