The Foreclosure Relief and Extension for Servicemembers Act of 2017 makes the temporary mortgage, foreclosure, and eviction protections that were granted to members of the uniformed services permanent. It changes existing law so that servicemembers continue to receive these safeguards without an expiration date.

Key Provisions

  • Amends the Honoring America's Veterans and Caring for Camp Lejeune Families Act of 2012 by deleting the temporary language (paragraphs (1) and (3) of Section 710(d)) that limited the extended protections, thereby making those protections permanent for servicemembers.
