The National Council of La Raza (NCLR) is launching a telephone counseling service aimed at helping homeowners in six states who are facing foreclosure.
According to NCLR, residents of Arizona, Colorado, Michigan, Nevada, Utah and Washington state will be able to call the new hotline to speak with housing counselors who will help them navigate through their options of applying for a loan modification, short sale or refinance, or submitting a claim of wrongful foreclosure.
‘There are about two million families in the process of losing their homes at this very minute, and drastic funding cuts have completely gutted foreclosure prevention programs at a time when we need them the most,’ says Victor Burrola, director of the NCLR Homeownership Network. ‘We''e hopeful that this hotline will provide the relief and expertise that countless homeowners need to navigate the confusing options before them and possibly save their homes.’
