by Gov. J. Corzine during the December 2008 - January 2009 time period.

the borrower's monthly payment.
There are certain provisions that MSP participants must meet:
- The loan must be paid when the house is sold.
- The Participants are subject to Income Limits and mandatory budget counseling.
- The Housing Assistance and Recovery Program (HARP)
The HARP is funded by $15M.
- This allows Non-Profit Organizations to buy At-Risk Properties and then lease them back to their former owners.
- When the former owners have sufficient finances available, they can buy their former property back.
