Foreclosure moratorium

South Carolina became the first state in the nation to have its Supreme Court issue an order that temporarily stops foreclosures on thousands of homeowners across the state who may be able to qualify for mortgage loan modifications under the Obama administration's recently announced foreclosure-prevention program.

The Supreme Court of South Carolina has put a moratorium on foreclosures that involve any mortgages that are guaranteed or owned by Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae. The freeze also includes other banks and lenders who intend to take part in the federal government loan-modification program. Find more information on Freddie Mac mortgage assistance programs.

At any one time there are thousands of South Carolina homes in foreclosure proceedings. Some are due to a long term hardship, other foreclosures are caused by a financial emergency. The South Carolina court's order will likely slow down, if not completely end, at least half of these foreclosures.

Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, which requested the temporary restraining order to slow down the process, said the Supreme Court’s ruling gives it additional time to help as well as identify homeowners who may be able to benefit from the administration's modification plan. It will also allow them to provide mortgage help to South Carolina homeowners that should hopefully allow many to keep their homes. As a HUD counselor about this moratorium.
