The document summarizes a program called American Homeowner Preservation (AHP) that aims to help homeowners who are underwater on their mortgages or at risk of foreclosure. AHP will purchase homes via short sale, lease them back to homeowners, and give homeowners the option to repurchase their home at a predetermined price that is lower than what they originally owed. This creates equity for the homeowner. Homeowners work with AHP counselors and can qualify to repurchase their home through an FHA loan after living in the home for a period of years under the lease agreement.
