Every American deserves a warm and secure home. However, right now, many home owners are having difficulty making their mortgage payments. The Center for Responsible Lending projects that the Eleventh Congressional District will suffer 18,531 foreclosures over the next four years. Our community's foreclosure rate is distressing and unacceptable. That's why I have created these resources to assist you.
Here on my housing Home Page, you'll find:
- Direct access to my housing case workers;
- Resources that can help prevent foreclosure and;
- Legislation I've supported to change the current foreclosure process.
If you're in need of help, I encourage you to call my Housing Hotlines. My staff can help you save your home.
