http://hap.usace.army.mil/ Look at this-From the website:
The Department of Defense (DOD) is proud to offer the Homeowners Assistance Program (HAP) to eligible service members and federal civilian, including non-appropriated fund, employees. The program is authorized by law, and administered by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to assist eligible homeowners who face financial loss when selling their primary residence homes in areas where real estate values have declined because of a base closure or realignment announcement.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) temporarily expands the HAP to assist service members and DOD employees who are wounded, injured or become ill when deployed, surviving spouses of service members or DOD employees killed or died of wounds while deployed, service member and civilian employees assigned to BRAC 05 organizations, and service members required to permanently relocate during the home mortgage crisis.

New Pilot Program for Former Homeowners in Dakota, Ramsey and Washington Counties The Minnesota Home Ownership Center is pleased to announce a new pilot program that may assist families AFTER the foreclosure of their home with up to $2,500 to relocate and secure alternative housing. Funding for this pilot program has been provided by the Saint Paul Foundation Community Economic Relief Fund. For now, homeowners being displaced must have owned in Dakota, Ramsey or Washington Counties during this pilot program. Depending on need, and availability of future funding, the program may be expanded. Funds may be used for:
· Moving expenses
· Security deposits
· Up to half of monthly rent for first three months
• Utilities (gas, electric, water)
Homeowners should contact the foreclosure counselors at the following organizations:
Dakota County: Dakota County CDA
Ramsey County: City of Saint Paul PED
Washington County: Washington County HRA
Spanish-Speaking homeowners (In the three counties): Neighborhood Development Alliance
Due to limited funding… these grants are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Short Sales have been difficult to close, and these new measures are a huge step in the right direction. One major highlight: A lender must give a yes or no answer to an offer within 10 days. Also included: a moving allowance, incentives for sellers and lenders, commission rules, and a stipulation that releases sellers from debt liabilities.
