North Miami Mayor Seeks Court Adoption Of Foreclosure Diversion Program To Save Himself, Others From Losing Homes

In the City of North Miami, Florida, WFOR-TV Channel 4 reports:
  • North Miami's mayor is pushing Miami-Dade courts to create a mortgage foreclosure diversion program to help those on the verge of losing their homes. Mayor Kevin Burns counts himself as one of those who needs the help. Burns says he owes more than $279,000 on the three-bedroom home he shares with his partner, a stay-at-home-dad to their 7-year-old daughter. The mayor says if they can't come up with the money, the home will go up for public sale in January.
