HAMP - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_Affordable_Modification_Program
HARP - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_Affordable_Refinance_Program

Both programs are scheduled to end December 31 (i.e. no new submissions, but modifications / refinances made under these programs before then will of course continue in effect)

I have a friend going through this

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1112278 -- the bottom half of this has an update (she was turned down because they wouldn't count the rental income she gets from her housemates, nor the child support she receives).
