Important Information

Foreclosure Assistance

Floridians seeking foreclosure prevention advice and assistance should be careful who they call for help. Contact your lender as soon as possible if you are experiencing difficulties with your mortgage payments and contact the Homeowners HOPE Hotline (1-888-995-HOPE) to receive free personal and confidential assistance from nonprofit housing counselors. Also, when calling the HOPE Hotline, dial the number carefully as copycat groups have set up nearly identical numbers. Click here for more information.
