1/16/13- Livingston County homeowners facing foreclosure will see some relief through the recently approved Hardest Hit Program. This program will aid taxpayerâs who may have no mortgage but are currently delinquent on their taxes, pushing them into foreclosure. Hardest Hit will issue the homeowner a zero percent interest loan of up to $30,000 for delinquent taxes. Participants will pay the debt off over a five year period without accruing additional interest charges. The county sees this program as a last resort for many. The program was approved Monday by the Livingston County Board of Commissioners and will now go through the State of Michigan before being officially in place. Eligibility requirements for those interested in participating have not yet been released, but will be available on the county website pending approval by the state. (SO)
