Assistance programs help homeowners who are at risk of losing their homes due to financial difficulties by providing financial support or restructuring loans. Proponents argue that it prevents people from losing their homes and stabilizes communities. Opponents argue that it encourages irresponsible borrowing and is unfair to those who pay their mortgages.
@ISIDEWITH8mos8MO
Yes
@9W2H9RN3mos3MO
I don't have one cause I don't agree that the gov should be bailing out people that made bad financial decisions.
@ISIDEWITH8mos8MO
No
@9W2H9RN3mos3MO
They got themselves into a situation that they had not fully looked at all the possibilities and they over extended themselves. The consequences of these actions is to sell or go into foreclosure
@9RKZCVB6mos6MO
Yes, but only in extreme situations, and as long as it does not encourage irresponsible borrowing, and is not unfair to those who pay their mortgages.
@chachi_my_chachiLabor2mos2MO
They should provide it for a year or less, then stop. This way, if someone has fallen on tough times they can bounce back; if it's a pattern, they'll be foreclosed soon enough.
This depends on circumstances. If the banking system is allowed to loan money to people that can't afford it due to inaccurate forecasts by government and treasury, I suggest the government should take responsibility and provide assistance, especially for owner occupiers.
Yes, but only for low income persons or families. Wealthy persons are on their own and only have them selves to blame.
@9WV2VP93mos3MO
Yes as long as there is a reasonable criteria of circumstances
@9WTMTL23mos3MO
Yes, but the situations should be fairly monitored for reasons of foreclosure etc
@9WTKHM63mos3MO
No, insurance companies and Work Cover help with that already
@9WRD8GRIndependent3mos3MO
Yes, To those that only have one home ownership property in their name and currently reside in the home
@9WKK2TM3mos3MO
Yes but only those meeting very strict criteria as government cannot afford to bail out everyone. Government to help them to link into services to receive help for long term sustainability.
@9WB73NC3mos3MO
Yes, but only in circumstance beyond the persons control ie: injury, sickness. NOT in circumstances of irresponsibility like drug addictions, drinking, smoking instead of paying mortgage repayments.
Advices and budgetry assistsnces and consessions but not monitry payments. It could act as an underwriter.
Yes - if they have a financial plan showing they have capacity to continue to pay after a short term issue.
@9W5BFTX3mos3MO
Yes depending on their circumstances. If the person's house is foreclosed dur to their own neglect then no.. if it's because of severe hardship beyond their control then yes.
@9SXQ3DL5mos5MO
This should be determined case by case looking using set guidelines that consider the homeowners situation
@9SWQZYBDavid Pocock5mos5MO
Yes, but only for homeowners that live in the property facing foreclosure
@9SDR7BF5mos5MO
Yes, but only if the homeowner reasonably attempted to repay their loan
@9S4C9R95mos5MO
Yes. but they should be means tested. not every rich person requires government assistance. They just need to live below their means.
@9RZM3V95mos5MO
Yes, as long as it is not unfair to those that pay their mortgages, and irresponsible borrowing is not encouraged.

No, instead incentivise insurance companies to do so, with strict guidelines and rules in place to deter irresponsible borrowing.
