Mortgage foreclosure
Pennsylvania mortgage foreclosure proceeds through a legal action and can reach an execution or sheriff's sale. Read the lender and court papers for the stage and dates that apply to your house.
For certain delinquent mortgages on a one- or two-family home that is the borrower's principal residence, the lender must send an Act 91 notice before filing for foreclosure. If you receive one and want to seek HEMAP assistance, meet a designated housing counselor within 33 days; the counselor then has 30 days from that meeting to submit an application to PHFA.
