Titus Urges Geithner to Use TARP Funds to Help Homeowners Who Are Underwater"I write to ask you to consider using TARP funds, especially those that will be soon returned to the Treasury, to create new, targeted programs to help those families that are more than 105% 'underwater.' Many families in my district are not eligible for help under the “Making Home Affordable” program but need assistance to stay in their homes."
Titus Statement on President Obama’s Housing Plan"As Nevada continues to lead the nation in the foreclosure rate, President Obama’s new housing initiative will provide welcome assistance to responsible homeowners who followed the rules yet still face foreclosure. While this program will not bring an end to the housing crisis or help every homeowner, it is a step in the right direction that will help millions of families stay in their homes."
Titus Floor Statement on Amendment to Housing Bill"I can't tell you how many calls I have received from constituents in my district office who are facing foreclosure and don't know where to turn. This amendment will provide them with the information and help they need under this important legislation."
