Home Ownership Assistance

Protect Your Piece of the American Dream

Hancock recognizes that many homeowners are facing challenging and difficult times. Timely monthly payments for some are becoming a struggle due to situations that are beyond your control. Unemployment, underemployment, and skyrocketing expenses, just to name a few, are contributing to unforeseen financial hardships. Hancock's Homeownership Assistance Program is designed to help eligible homeowners from going into foreclosure by maintaining a monthly payment on their mortgage. Please know that Hancock Bank is committed to partnering with you to protect your piece of the American dream.

After gathering the information on the checklist, complete the Homeownership Assistance Questionnaire.
Bring the entire package to any Hancock Banker or using the fax cover sheet that precedes the Homeownership Assistance Questionnaire and
fax the information to 1-985-871-5554. Together, this information will help us to help you.


Once we receive all requested information and documentation, we will determine if you are eligible based upon your circumstances. If you are eligible, we will look at your monthly income and housing costs, including past due payments, and determine a manageable mortgage payment. Past due taxes and applicable insurances will also be considered. No fees are charged to take advantage of this opportunity to modify your mortgage and retain ownership of your home.
