Mortgage Payment Assistance Program (MPA) is now open

Online applications to Oregon homeowners are now open for the state’s new Mortgage Payment Assistance (MPA) program at www.oregonhomeownerhelp.org. Applications for the program will be open until Jan. 14, 2011.

Community Services Consortium (CSC) has opened its intake offices in Linn and Lincoln counties to assist homeowners who have completed the online applications and to assist those who don’t have computer access.

“We are pleased to have John Cronkrite leading CSC’s part in helping Oregon homeowners with mortgage problems apply for assistance in Linn and Lincoln counties,” said Martha Lyon, Executive Director of CSC. “John, as administrator of the Mortgage Payment Assistance program and his staff are in the offices ready to help.”
