I have a soldier that was in the process of a foreclosure before enlisting, once he enlisted it stopped the process and he was told by the bank that they could not foreclose on him due to active military service. He was able to get a security clearance once he was in. My question is if he were to foreclose on the house willingly due to not being able to afford both rent and a mortgage will he lose his security clearance, be made to reclass to another MOS that doesnt require a clearance or worse be discharged out of the Army? Please no negative comments please, just looking for some insight to assist this soldier the best way possible going forward.

SSG (Join to see) What I think your looking for is a cite from a reg, policy ect.. But you wont find one.
A foreclosure will be considered in a determination for clearance suspension, but its a decision made, not a black or white check box.
Your SM needs to go have a sit down with the BN or BDE G2 security manager and maybe even the G2 manager at Div. The more they know before the issue is forced upon them the more they can do (if the SM deserves the assistance)

No he probably won't lose his clearance but it needs to get reported to DoD CAF through his S2. If he didn't put this on his SF86 that's another issue, but they likely would have found out during the background investigation and would have not adjudicated it if so.
Also as I have stated before, there's a new DoD policy that has classified military as a "national security position" so everyone in the military has to be able to pass a T3 investigation at minimum and maintain a Secret clearance. Even legal residents have to be able to pass that investigation, they just can't get a clearance until they get citizenship.
You need to go with him to S2 but I don't think he'd get a Letter of Intent to Revoke based on what you've said. As long as he reports it through S2 to CAF.

Best that be up front with your security folks. If he seems to trying to 'hide' the problem then it becomes something a USA enemy might/could blackmail him.
