National Black Church Initiative Foreclosure Prevention Guide

The National Black Church Initiative and 13 historic African American denominations have come together with industry and government to create a helpful guide to assist families going through foreclosure and to help others avoid it altogether. This user-friendly booklet is designed to provide critical and helpful information on how to keep their home. The booklet will consist of a list of government-based agencies and private lenders that can assist at risk borrowers. This step-by-step guide will also help them to identify resources in the housing industry that have been created for the explicit purpose of assisting homeowners who are touched by the current difficulties. The booklet contains websites, phone numbers, lists of individuals and institutions that can help borrowers navigate through this housing turbulence.
