Ten percent of the nation's homeowners are either 30 or 90 days delinquent on their mortgages or in some phase of foreclosure.(1)
In the Philadelphia region, payments on at least one-in-four dollars of mortgages were still unpaid after 30 days, as of September 30, 2008.(2)
Our goal is to help homeowners who are in financial trouble avoid foreclosure and save money by having better options for their home financing, and improve their general financial management.
We are working at the neighborhood level going door-to-door to provide easy access to advice, counseling and good loans.
