FAQ

What can a Home Ownership Specialist help me with?

Your Home Ownership Specialist will help you get your paperwork in order and advise on any potential obstacles to review with your lender. Your Specialist will assist with submitting your documentation to your lender and working on your behalf towards a positive resolution.

Why is all of this documentation required?

The documents requested in the intake packet will help your Home Ownership Specialist get a complete picture of your financial situation so that they can make recommendations to avoid foreclosure. This documentation will also be needed to help with a request for mortgage assistance package required by most lenders..

Why isn’t there a fee for this advocacy service?

Our area is one of the areas of greatest need for foreclosure prevention counseling in the country. The foreclosure prevention program is funded by the federal government and the cost of counseling is already covered by this funding.

When do I need to vacate my home?

You do not need to leave the home until after a Sheriff Sale on the property has taken place, this is the last step in the foreclosure process.
