 Upcoming Foreclosure Prevention Forum: Saturday May 10, Phoenix City Hall |
| |
Dear Arizonans,
Too many Arizonans have been impacted by national home foreclosure crisis. I have met with mortgage lenders and we agree that Arizona buyers should have a chance to work out their loans with lenders and stay in their homes, whenever possible.
I strongly encourage that homeowners facing eviction or foreclosure contact their lender or HOPE NOW to explore options. HOPE NOW credit counselors can be reached at their national toll-free number, 1-888-995-4673 (888-995-HOPE) to provide over-the-phone credit counseling that can help keep them in their homes.
Contacting your lender or HOPE NOW today will give you more flexibility in finding a solution to keep your home. Please read below for additional tips and steps to avoid foreclosure and to resolve mortgage difficulties.
Sincerely,
Governor Janet Napolitano |
