The Home Affordable Refinance Program also grew to 81,000 loans in October, bringing the total to 790,600 refinancing actions since the beginning of 2012.
The Federal Housing Administration has offered more than 1.5 million loss mitigation and early delinquency interventions since the launch of the initiative.
As of November, more than 1.1 million homeowners have benefited from permanent modification through the Home Affordable Modification Program.
“The Administration’s programs to prevent foreclosure have helped millions of families stay in their homes and prompted critical changes in the way the mortgage industry assists struggling homeowners, which have helped our country recover faster from an unprecedented housing crisis,” said Treasury Assistant Secretary for Financial Stability Tim Massad.
About 87% of eligible homeowners entering a HAMP trial modification since June 1, 2010 have received a permanent modification after an average period of 3.5 months.
Homeowners currently in HAMP permanent modifications with some form of principal reduction were granted an estimated $8.4 billion in writedowns. Of all non-government-sponsored enterprise loans eligible for principal reduction entering HAMP in November, 77% ended up obtaining a principal writedown.
Nearly 102,000 second lien modifications have been completed through the Second Lien Modification Program. In addition, 86,000 homeowners have exited their properties through a short sale or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure with assistance from the Home Affordable Alternatives Program.
Homeowners receiving a full extinguishment of a second lien received a median total first and second lien payment reduction of 53%.
