Home Buyer Job Loss Protection Program

Job Loss Protection Program (H.E.L.P.)

The Job Loss Protection Program is an optional, seller-funded mortgage protection program that helps home owners with monthly mortgage payments if they experience a loss of employment.

The Job Loss Protection Program is part of the HELP (Home owner Education and Loss Protection) program administered by the Rainy Day Foundation.

The Rainy Day Foundation's Homeowner Education and Loan Protection service (HELP) includes a Mortgage Protection Program or Job Loss Protection that protects homeowners if they experience a loss of their employment. Many Americans are concerned with job stability and how they are going to make their mortgage payments if they lose their job.
