California Fair Housing Group Expands Into Murrietta; Offers Free Services To Homeowners In Foreclosure

In Murrietta, California, North County Times reports:

• [A]fter hosting a foreclosure prevention workshop last month at which more than 350 people were given direct answers to their personal mortgage woes, Murrieta city officials invited the Fair Housing Council [of Riverside County] to set up shop locally. The council is a nonprofit advocacy group that acts as an intermediary between lenders and borrowers to negotiate terms of loans, review documents, watch for mortgage fraud scams and empower homeowners by apprising them of their rights and about free services available to them.
