People are facing tough economic times and facing financial crisis such as job loss, budget management challenges and credit problems.
Mountain View Lutheran Church has formed a Financial team. This team is focused on developing and offering educational forums, one-on-one counseling and access to vital relief resources in various areas.
CURRENT WORKSHOPS AND SCHEDULES
Best Buddies Arizona is currently accepting applications from high school seniors, high school graduates and college students to serve on the Best Buddies Arizona 2009-2010 Junior Leadership Committee. Click here for more information and application.
There are a number of resources that may provide relief:
Are you eligible?
www.MakingHomeAffordable.gov is a government web site designed to help homeowners determine whether they qualify for a loan modification or refinancing.
Housing advocates say the site is the place for borrowers to start if they want to find out if the plan can help them. People facing foreclosure should also call Arizona's foreclosure hotline at 877-448-1211 and contact a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development-certified housing counselor. The HUD counseling is free.
There are also a growing number of firms, not federally certified, that negotiate loan modifications for a fee.
Regulators caution struggling homeowners to check out a firm offering help before paying any fees. Legislation that would require loan-modification firms in Arizona to be licensed is being considered.
