Foreclosure Prevention Program
Unexpected events can occur, such as the loss of a job, reduction in work hours, illness, divorce,
etc., that may cause home owners to fall behind in their mortgage payments. Services are
available to home owners to help avoid the loss of a home to foreclosure. Help is available at
little or no cost.
Where Do I Get Help to Avoid Foreclosure?
