Facing foreclosure?
As we continue to experience a bumpy economic landscape, the US has recently witnessed a rise in foreclosure filings.
Depending on how challenging your financial situation is, it can be confusing to understand the available options that could help you keep in your home.
You are not alone. Homeowners facing financial challenges are more successful in figuring out their next steps when they fully understand their options.
Nonprofit housing counseling agencies like 995 Hope can provide guidance on how to manage your finances and housing situation. We can also help you understand your options and assist you in communicating with your lender.
Our HUD-certified counselors begin the conversation talking through where you are today, and what you need to accomplish your goals. We’re ready to guide you through the process, ensuring you’re equipped with the necessary knowledge to protect your home and financial well-being.

Watch for Scams
Be cautious of companies that claim they can stop your foreclosure immediately for a fee. Many of these companies are scams and may not provide the help you need.
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Watch out for any company that offers a “quick fix” as relief programs come to an end. No organization can promise or guarantee modification of a loan or prevention of foreclosure other than your servicer. Read about what to look for when it comes to scams.
Understand your Rights
Familiarize yourself with the foreclosure laws in your state. Knowing your rights and the legal process can help you make informed decisions and possibly buy you more time. Knowing your rights and protections as a homeowner reduces stress and helps you manage through challenging situations. By being aware of the legal procedures and timelines specific to your state, you can make informed decisions and take appropriate actions in a timely manner.
