The crux of he foreclosure avoidance plan of the President is to obtain $75 billion from the funds that have been earmarked by Congress for bailing out the financial services industry and use it instead to combat the rising number of foreclosures.  The three main goals of the Barack Obama foreclosure prevention program are refinancing, more loan modifications, and the provision of more home loans

The Obama foreclosure rescue strategy makes sure that there are more new loans available in the housing market, recommends the approval of more loan refinancing applications, and stimulates an increase in the number of permitted loan modifications by banks and lenders.  The Helping Families Save Their Homes Act, which was signed into law by the President himself in May 2009, supports the foreclosure initiative.  This legislation was designed to make some adjustments to the Hope for Homeowners Act that was then given the goal of aiding borrowers who had outstanding mortgage loans with values that were more than the selling prices of their homes.
