New events for emergency home loan program

If you're trying to apply for the Emergency Mortgage Assistance program, aimed at staving off foreclosure with a no-interest, payment-deferred loan, you'll have several opportunities to meet directly with state officials this month.

The state Department of Housing and Community Development has scheduled events June 9 (this Thursday), June 18 and June 30 at its offices in Crownsville -- Anne Arundel County.

Details, including how to register, are here.

The state also announced two other new loan programs yesterday, one for people purchasing a foreclosure or short sale and the other aimed at purchasers of homes in need of repair. (The second mortgage program includes money for renovation.) Details about those mortgages here.
