Foreclosure Resource Center
Foreclosure Resources
Introduction | Community Resources | Consumer Resources | Mitigation Toolkit
In 2008, the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, along with other regional Banks, created customized Foreclosure Resource Centers to provide local constituents and consumers with easy access to information on foreclosure-related resources. Each Bank has continued to enhance these centers to increase and improve content, which includes the addition of the Foreclosure Mitigation Toolkit, which provides detailed steps and information for localities seeking to develop foreclosure prevention activities of their own. The toolkit was recently expanded to include a Foreclosure Recovery Resource Guide to assist consumers who have gone through the foreclosure process.
