Welcome to the Save the Dream : Ohio's Foreclosure Prevention
Effort
|
|
Foreclosures are a devastating threat to our families and our communities. Ohioans
work hard and make sacrifices to achieve the American Dream of homeownership. But
the unexpected—job loss, death of a spouse, illness, divorce, or rising mortgage
payments—can threaten that dream.
I created Ohio’s Foreclosure Prevention Task Force to help keep Ohio families in
their homes. One point task force members heard repeatedly from both lenders and
counseling agencies was that if consumers seek help early then they have a much
greater chance of avoiding foreclosure.
Unfortunately, many Ohioans facing foreclosure don’t know where to turn.
I can tell you there is help available. Savethedream.ohio.gov provides information
and highlights programs you can use to help save the dream of homeownership. Here
you can learn about available resources, the value of working with local housing
counselors, and the importance of contacting your mortgage servicer.
I hope this Web site is helpful to you. I want you to have all the information you
need on this important issue because I am committed to doing everything I can to
prevent foreclosures in Ohio.
