Foreclosure Prevention Orientation

Are you at risk of foreclosure or just behind on your mortage payments? Attend our foreclosure prevention orientation to get one-on-one assistance and guidance. Attendees will have the opportunity to discuss their situation and options available to them. Our counselors are fully trained to provide you with assistance in avoiding foreclosure, including working with your lender, preparing you for mediation, and discussing other available options. We offer an orientation that provides general information about the types of resources and assistance that are available to prevent foreclosure from happening.

To meet with one of our counselors, you may download a copy of our Foreclosure Prevention Counseling application packet from our document center and submit it to our office along with your most recent mortgage statement and hardship letter to your lender, if you’ve written one, or feel free to connect with our staff to work out the best way to get you started.
