The counseling was provided in partnership with NeighborWorks America, the Treasury Department as well as municipal and community-based housing groups. Participants could meet with representatives from their lender and counselors from Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)-approved organizations to pursue options to avoid foreclosure. “These cities have been hit hard by foreclosures and it was important for these borrowers to learn about the available options to avoid foreclosure,” HOPE NOW deputy director Larry Gilmore said in a statement.
