Bill	AN ACT TO AMEND TITLES 10 AND 29 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE FORECLOSURE AND THE OFFICE OF FORECLOSURE PREVENTION AND FINANCIAL EDUCATION.	The Office of Foreclosure Prevention and Financial Education and the Residential Mortgage Foreclosure Mediation Program were created in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis to assist homeowners at risk of foreclosure or already navigating the foreclosure process. Originally intended as temporary programs, the need for these programs is as critical as ever for those facing the loss of their homes. The programs have proven to be important resources in preserving home ownership and educating homeowners on their rights and responsibilities in times of economic contraction and in times of economic expansion. As a result of their successes, the General Assembly has extended the programs multiple times. It is clear that the need for these programs will continue for the foreseeable future. In recognition of this reality, this Act removes the expiration dates from the programs.	us/states/de	Delaware General Assembly	152	SB 245	Delaware SB 245 (152)	bill		enacted	Bryan Townsend David L.
