Many Connecticut homeowners are feeling the pressure right now. Rising costs, job disruptions, reduced hours, or unexpected expenses can quickly make it harder to keep up with mortgage payments and household bills. If you’re starting to fall behind—or worried you might—help is available, and you don’t have to wait until foreclosure proceedings begin.
The WorkPlace, a Connecticut-based nonprofit with over 40 years of experience helping residents access jobs and financial stability, operates the Mortgage Crisis Job Training Program (MCJTP). Funded by the State of Connecticut, MCJTP is designed to help homeowners stay in their homes by increasing earning potential and connecting borrowers to critical support services—at no cost.
MCJTP works with homeowners who are behind on their mortgage or at risk of falling behind. Participants receive one-on-one support from trained counselors who help assess employment options, connect individuals to job training and career pathways, and coordinate referrals to housing and financial resources. The goal is simple: stabilize income, reduce financial stress, and help families remain in their homes.
Importantly, you do not need to be in foreclosure to qualify. If you’ve missed payments, are juggling bills, or are concerned about your ability to keep up in the months ahead, now is the time to reach out. Acting early can open more options and reduce long-term consequences.
All MCJTP services are confidential and provided at no cost to participants.
