It's unclear from your question who owns the property, who is foreclosing on the unit and the reason for the foreclosure.

Foreclosure is usually accomplished either by a lender, a tax authority including the IRS, a co-owner, or the association.

If not before now, the foreclosure action has your attention. You can attempt to work out a different result with whomever has taken the foreclosure action, which may prevent you losing your residence.
