State housing agencies in Arizona, California, Florida, Michigan and Nevada will receive a total of $1.5 billion from the Obama administration's "Hardest Hit Fund."

"These states have identified a number of innovative programs that will make a real difference in the lives of many homeowners facing foreclosure," said Herbert Allison Jr., Treasury assistant secretary for financial stability.

Proposals approved Wednesday include programs to help struggling homeowners who owe more than their homes are worth by reducing the principal owed on their loans; to help unemployed or underemployed homeowners make mortgage payments; to facilitate the settlement of second liens, short sales or deeds in lieu of foreclosure; and help with payments in arrears.
