    Dear Community Partner,
There are many reasons why homeowners might find themselves facing foreclosure. They could be faced with higher homeowners insurance premiums or increased property taxes, making it harder to make their mortgage payment. They may have suffered setbacks during the COVID-19 pandemic and are struggling to get back on their feet financially. Or, the higher cost of day-to-day living expenses may have simply become too much of a strain on their limited budgets. Whatever the reason, homeowners armed with information about the foreclosure process and sources of help stand the best chance of saving their homes.
Join Consumer Action on Tuesday, Feb. 6, for our virtual train-the-trainer "Helping Homeowners Avoid Foreclosure." The webinar panel of speakers will include Andrea Bopp Stark, senior attorney with the National Consumer Law Center (NCLC), and Stacey Tutt, Homeowner Assistance Fund coordinator and senior staff attorney with the National Housing Law Project (NHLP).
This train-the-trainer will cover:
Foreclosure basics: Understanding mortgage delinquency and the foreclosure process
Foreclosure prevention options that help homeowners keep their home, as well as options that minimize negative consequences when exiting homeownership
An update on currently available homeowner relief or assistance programs
How HUD-certified housing counselors can help
When consumers should seek help from an attorney and where to find free or low-cost legal assistance
AFC professionals can earn 1.5 CEUs for participation in this free 90-minute webinar.
