After one year the statistics of Philadelphia’s Mortgage Foreclosure Diversion Pilot Program are in — and they are puzzling to say the least. The program was able to save 60% of homes from foreclosure:

Philadelphia’s Mortgage Foreclosure Diversion Pilot Program, seen as a national model to stem the foreclosure crisis, resulted in 2,776 properties permanently or temporarily saved from sale between its inception in June 2008 and May 31 this year out of 4,690 that were referred to the program, according to new data.
