Yes, they can.  What you need to do is to call the bank and make some form of agreement to repay the balance so that they do not foreclose.  Do you need to discuss modification of the loan agreement?  Will you qualify?  Seek some help here.  Everyone goes through hard times and it is very costly for a bank to foreclose.  They would prefer not to do that.  Good luck.
