You don't have to suffer in silence. You don't have to lose your home.
Those are the poignant opening remarks of Alphonso Jackson, Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to Chicago Mayor Daley today at a homeowner outreach program.
He further went on to offer hope for those facing foreclosure through FHASecure and the Hope Now Alliance. His efforts to reach out to those who are in trouble were summed up with these words.
“There are many options; many sources of assistance. But, surprisingly, many people still treat foreclosure as inevitable. I am troubled by the fact that there is so much denial...that many homeowners facing foreclosure will not call their mortgage lenders for help...that some won't seek any help at all.”
His remarks should not be ignored. While I do not have all the information concerning the 2 programs he mentioned to help those in trouble, I can direct you to those who do. Don’t lose your home without a fight.
Mr. Jackson’s words can be read in full here.
