Philadelphia Foreclosure Prevention Program Gets Heavy Support

A new program designed to help Philadelphia, Pennsylvania homeowners avoid foreclosure is being kicked off with the support of The Urban League of Philadelphia, together with The National Urban League and the Homeownership Preservation Foundation, according to a report at Housing Wire.

As part of the joint effort, the National Urban League will support the promotion of the Homeownership Preservation Foundation's 888-995-HOPE hotline, which is available 24/7 nationwide to homeowners concerned about facing foreclosure, either now or in the near future. Callers receive free, confidential advice from expert counselors from HUD-approved counseling agencies. Those who are in need of additional face-to-face counseling and education will be referred to the Urban League affiliate in their city.
