    Florida Foreclosures and Mortgage Modification by the Numbers According to the Government Accountability Office, nearly 400,000 households have avoided foreclosure with government programs, as of July 2010. Approximately $248 million of the $50 billion in TARP funds was used to help millions of homeowners with mortgage payment reductions. In the month of June, the number of permanent modifications increased nearly 15%, bring the monthly total to over 50,000.

Lenders offered nearly 45% of canceled trial modification participants an alternative modification. Less than 2% of the homeowners in trial modifications went to foreclosure sale.

The public sector is only being called on to create rules to deal with a present crisis.
