Residential Mortgage Foreclosure Diversion Program

The Lancaster County Residential Mortgage Foreclosure Diversion Program is a collaborative effort between both public and private sector entities to address the increasing number of property foreclosures in Lancaster County. 

Initiated on June 1, 2021, by the Administrative Order of President Judge David L. Ashworth, the Program becomes effective August 1, 2021. The primary objective of the Program is to provide a streamlined, unified process for the amicable resolution of mortgage foreclosure proceedings through court intervention, housing counseling, and conciliation conferences to help residents of Lancaster County stay in their homes.
