Nevada's Congressional District Three

Titus Announces Additional $57 Million for Nevada in Hardest Hit Funds

Wednesday, September 29, 2010

Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Dina Titus of Nevada’s Third District announced today that Nevada is receiving an additional $57 million through the Hardest Hit Fund to help address the foreclosure crisis.  This brings Nevada’s total to $193 million received through this program.  Titus has relentlessly called on the Obama administration to do more to help homeowners at risk of foreclosure, and she has helped thousands of Southern Nevada homeowners through housing workshops and casework.

“As ground zero of the foreclosure crisis, the Third District has been hit particularly hard during this recession,” Congresswoman Titus said.  “That is why I have made it a top priority to fight on behalf of my constituents by pushing for additional funds as well as standing up to the banks that too often have been part of the problem rather than part of the solution.  This assistance will help families that are struggling to get by due to the severity of this recession and stay in their home while we continue our efforts to turn Nevada’s economy around.”

The Hardest Hit Fund helps address the housing crisis in Nevada by assisting homeowners struggling to make their mortgage payments due to unemployment.  It provides temporary assistance to eligible homeowners to help them pay their mortgage while they seek re-employment or additional employment, or undertake job training.
