ALBANY, NY (March 3, 2021) – New York State is facing the highest mortgage default rate since the Great Recession. As of the end of 2020, an average 11.8% (533,313) of New York homeowners were delinquent on their mortgages, according to US Census data. This rate is over three times the last high of 3.8% in January 2009 at the height of the Great Recession; and over five times the delinquency rate of January 2020 of 2.2%. Homeowners of color, moreover, are twice as likely to experience mortgage distress than their white counterparts. At the same time, New York's home retention program that funds free housing and legal services for homeowners -- the Homeowner Protection Program (HOPP) -- is about to run out of funding unless State lawmakers approve $20 million to maintain the program and protect families from foreclosure and displacement.
