Are You In Forbearance or Behind In Your Mortgage Payments?

There is an Answer to Your Personal Mortgage Crisis

While the Federal moratoriums are ending The WorkPlace’s Mortgage Crisis Job Training Program (MCJTP) is continuing to help Connecticut homeowners affected by Covid-19 that may have taken advantage of mortgage forbearances or have fallen behind in their mortgage payments by providing foreclosure prevention resources and opportunities that lead to financial stability. If loss of work, insufficient income, overwhelming medical bills, or other financial challenges are putting you at risk of losing your home, there are NO-COST services available for households in jeopardy of foreclosure. Earning more could be the solution to avoiding foreclosure.

There are clear links between training, employment and housing stability. The MCJTP has helped Connecticut residents stay in their homes since 2008 by enhancing job skills to improve earning potential and the ability to sustain a mortgage with affordable monthly payments. We work in partnership with Judicial Mediators, the Connecticut Housing Finance Authority and HUD approved housing counseling agencies.

Our staff meets with people across Connecticut. Counselors provide one-on-one consultations to identify in-demand training opportunities to help you increase your job skills and advance your career.
