Does the SCRA protect the family of a servicemember?

Almost 6 years ago, I bought a home through the USDA Rural Development and a few months later married my husband. He then joined the US Army and after basic training, we were stationed as a family across the country. We couldn’t get anybody to rent our home and we couldn’t afford to pay for 2 homes, so the home went into foreclosure. Now looking at SCRA guidelines, I am beginning to wonder if we were protected under that since we were married and therefore it was the servicemember’s home, even if he wasn’t listed on the mortgage. Was the foreclosure illegal?
