The Georgia Hardest Hit Fund is now HomeSafe Georgia
On August 11, 2010 the U. S. Treasury announced the State of Georgia’s inclusion in an expansion of the “Hardest Hit Fund”. The purpose of the program is to help Georgia homeowners who have experienced job loss or a substantial decrease in their income with a mortgage payment bridge while they find new or better employment. The Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA) under contract with Georgia Housing and Finance Authority’s GHFA Affordable Housing Inc. will administer Georgia’s HHF program.

The foreclosure process in Georgia is non-judicial. This means that the lender may begin foreclosure proceedings without going to court. There are steps that the lender must take to initiate the foreclosure. You must be at least 90 days behind on your mortgage.
The lender or the lender’s attorney must advertise the intended date of foreclosure for 30 days in a legal publication in your county of residence. We recommend that you speak to a certified housing counselor for answers to your specific questions and for assistance in avoiding foreclosure.
If you need help now, contact a housing counselor. A link is found below under Downloads and Related Links.
