Normally, if people want to keep the house they file a Chapter 13 petition. That enables them to cure the mortgage default over a 3-5 year period depending on their plan. The homestead exemption might come into play in Chapter 7 cases, depending on how much equity is in the home (but that is rare), but those who file Chapter 7 are rarely folks who want to keep their home. FNMA/FHLMC paper which is the norm in the industry contains a waiver of homestead exemption to the originating lender.
