FORECLOSURE ASSISTANCE AVAILABLE THROUGH 311 & MDHOPE
Even though stabilizing over the past few years, Baltimore City still
has a relatively high
foreclosure rate, which negatively impacts working families and
neighborhoods. But now,
through the efforts of the Baltimore Homeownership Preservation
Coalition (BHPC), citizens that
are having trouble paying their mortgage have access to free and
immediate help by calling the
City's 311 Call Center. When citizens call 311 they will be
transferred to a national hotline (1-
888-995-HOPE) where HUD-approved nonprofit counselors are available
24/7 to provide free
assistance and information.
For more information on any of these topics, or other neighborhood and
city-wide events and announcements, you can access the complete and
extremely comprehensive HARBEL newsletter at:

Thanks!
