Is there any truth that if a mortgage company forecloses on you they have to pay you because of the Homestead Act?
No. The Homestead Act of 1862 provided a means for people to claim land that was ownerless. When you got a mortgage to buy property, someone else owned it. Foreclosure occurs as a result of failure to pay back money that you borrowed. In some cases, a mortgage company may pay you to move (cash for keys) in order to gain control over the property without long delays, but that is not the Homestead Act.

Two of the most well known reasons are that the government passed the Homestead Act, which allowed people to buy a piece of land for a very cheap price, although there were some exceptions like you must have not fought for the Confederacy and had to be 21, and also you had to improve your land once you got it (you had to build a home on it or had to cultivate your land, etc.) Another reason is the Transcontinental Railroad, which allowed settlers to travel much faster than wagons.
