Many
states will pay your mortgage in times of dire financial need. For
example, Pennsylvania has a law allowing financial assistance to people in
danger of losing their homes to foreclosure as a result of a legitimate
temporary hardship that is no fault of their own who have "a
reasonable prospect" of resuming payments within a set time.
