Dear Friends,
I am proud to report that the H.O.P.E for Palm Beach County Task Force’s first workshop was a major success! Now it is time to bring our team of experts to the homeowners of central Palm Beach County. On Saturday, October 18, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m, our team of experts will be at the Odyssey Middle School in Boynton Beach (6161 Woolbright Road; West of I-95 between Military Trail and Jog Road). Our second workshop will available to any homeowner who is need of help.
With over 100 homeowners in attendance at the first workshop, we are looking forward to bringing HOPE to as many who live in the central part of Palm Beach County. The Task Force works like this: distressed homeowners fill out an application and if their home is already in foreclosure, they will have to bring the appropriate legal documents to the workshop. After an initial consultation with a counselor, they are invited to sit down personally with a bank officer, mortgage broker, or attorney to discuss ways to save their home.
The only requirement that the homeowner be a resident of Palm Beach County and the mortgage in question concerns a primary residence. Attorneys from the Legal Aid Society of Palm Beach County have graciously volunteered to help alongside our bankers, brokers, realtors, and other specialists. All information received at the workshop is completely confidential and all services are free. There is absolutely no cost to anyone.
If you or anyone you know needs help, please refer to www.mariasachs.com. On my website, you can download the application and receive further information about the workshop.
The mission of the Task Force is to assist the citizens of Palm Beach County to maintain homeownership by bringing together banking and mortgage industry representatives, lawyers specializing in home and condominium real estate, city officials, and real estate policy advocates to find practical solutions to the growing foreclosure problem.
If you have any further questions, feel free to contact my office at (561) 266-6645.
