The two banks are working with the Neighborhood Assistance Corp. of America.

That billion dollars will help folks refinance through fixed-rate mortgages.

"We demand that others commit the dollars needed to modify people’s loans," said Bruce Marks, NACA’s chief executive, in an interview. "If other lenders intend to foreclose, we will go after their decision makers."
