New Edition: Foreclosure Prevention Resource Guide

Posted by on September 26, 2011

The Community and Economic Development (CED) Department of the Urban Affairs Coalition is pleased to announce the availability of the Summer/Fall 2011 edition of its comprehensive Foreclosure Prevention Resource Guide.

At this time, due to the constantly changing foreclosure landscape, the Guide is only available in electronic form accessible and downloadable from UAC’s website at http://www.uac.org/foreclosurehelp.htm.  When federal and state programs and procedures stabilize we will produce a hardcopy version as we have in the past.

In this year’s edition you will notice changes in the foreclosure process due to the elimination of the Pennsylvania HEMAP program and its accompanying Act 91 Notice. There are also changes in the availability of government rescue programs.  The list of counseling agencies has been updated as well.

Special thanks go to the Guide’s new editor, Ms. Chanel Alexander, who replaced previous editor Rachel Moore who left to pursue nursing studies. We are especially grateful to our legal consultant and contributing writer, Ms. Margaret Robinson, staff attorney with Community Legal Services. Valuable editorial assistance was provided by Ms. Mary-Anne Smith Harris of UAC and design assistance was provided by Ms. Valerie Blassey and Ms. Nancy Biddle.

Production of this edition of the Guide, including staff costs, was made possible by a generous grant by Citi Foundation.  The Guide is a project and service of UAC’s Foreclosure Prevention Task Force which is co-chaired by Donald Haskin of Citigroup and Allison Hughes of the Homeownership Counseling Association of Delaware Valley.

Please feel free to share with us your comments and suggestions by contacting Ms. Chanel Alexander, Editor, at 215-851-1847 or via e-mail at calexander@uac.org.
