The U.S. Treasury Department went live on March 19 with its Making Home Affordable program, which aims to help home owners refinance or modify their mortgages. The campaign includes a Web site at makinghomeaffordable.gov as well as a telephone hotline number at (888) 995-4673. The federal government is targeting 9 million home owners whose loans are held by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.

This new site includes a user-friendly design and some cool new tools like a quiz to see if you’re eligible for mortgage modification and a calculator that allows home owners to estimate the reduction to their monthly mortgage payment that they might get under the plan.
