ACORN To Kick Off National Foreclosure Prevention Campaign

Ben Hanna at YourHub.com reports that:

• "As part of a national campaign to address the foreclosure crisis, ACORN members in Denver announced their plans to conduct a large scale outreach program to find homeowners at risk of losing their home due to a predatory loan, and to organize these homeowners to fight back to save their homes and win major policy changes presented in a ten point platform."

Based on what is reported in the article, it appears that ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) community organizers will arm themselves with lists of homeowners in foreclosure or with subprime loans and will go door to door in the neighborhoods most affected by the problem, and involve homeowners in the group's campaign activities.

ACORN will also provide homeowners with information regarding, among other things, how to avoid foreclosure rescue scams.

ACORN has established a toll-free national hotline, 1-866-67ACORN, to take calls from homeowners facing foreclosure or suffering from predatory loans. For borrowers in Colorado, please call the ACORN office at 303-534-1948.
