(1) Assistance to unemployed homeowners through mortgage companies;

(2) Encouraging mortgage service providers to write off a portion of borrowers' loans to a more manageable levels. Borrowers who owe 115% or more of the value of the home and are paying more than 31% of their monthly income toward house payment are eligible.
