The Obama administration has announced it will require home loan servicers to extend the time allowing unemployed homeowners to forbear payment on their loans to 12 months.

The extension will apply to homeowners who have Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loans and to servicers participating in the Making Home Affordable Program (MHA).

Special Guest: Singer/Song Writer Tiffany Monique

Joining the live in the vocal booth show tonight is the very talented Singer and Song writer Tiffany Monique.  Who better to describe Tiffany than the Legendary Beyonce, with whom she has toured the world with and performed countless times:

"Tiffany's voice has effortless strength, sass, seduction, and heart with a tone that puts you at ease. I am very lucky to have worked with her for many years and I am proud that she now has such a wonderful piece of work to share with the world."

-Beyoncé

Best known to the general public for being one-third of Beyoncé’s background singers – famously known as “The Mamas”– vocalist/songwriter Tiffany Moníque stepped out of the shadows as a solo recording artist with her debut EP, Nemesis,  in 2010. The five-track gem not only highlighted Tiffany’s stylistic diversity, but solidified her place as a superstar on the rise. In less than two years since the launch of her debut, Tiffany Moníque has amassed an impressive international fan base of thousands, including none other than her former boss, Beyoncé:

"Tiffany's voice has effortless strength, sass, seduction, and heart with a tone that puts you at ease," said Beyoncé. "I am very lucky to have worked with her for many years and I am proud that she now has such a wonderful piece of work to share with the world."

A native of Nashville, Tennessee, Tiffany’s mom moved the family to Newark, New Jersey in 1983.  At the age of three, Tiffany became actively involved in church and began to lay the foundation of her musical career through the church choir. “I went with my grandmother every Sunday and was involved in every ministry,” she pleasantly recalls. By the time she was in high school, Tiffany was a director in the church’s music ministry. While she knew well the songs in her hymnbook, Tiffany also found joy listening to seasoned soul singers on the radio. Listening to artists like Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, Donny Hathaway, Whitney Houston, Vesta and Chaka Khan, for whom her Aunt Beverly once sang backgrounds, Tiffany was inspired.

The list of jobs and the housing market crash has put lots of Americans in a place they never imagined. The face of the homeless has changed. No longer are the homeless just people deemed as not wanting to work; lazy, or on drugs, but today we see people with college degrees, former business owners and just everyday hard working people faced with the threat and for some the reality of homelessness.

The “Live in the Vocal Booth Team” will tackle the new face of homelessness and how we can help those in need and stay away from becoming homeless ourselves. Tonight we have a special call in guest Taneisha Sanders who will tell her story of how now she too has become one of the millions who have become homeless.
