Foreclosure Prevention & Predatory Lending Resources
In July 2007, UEDA helped convene a group of concerned
professionals from the housing industry to discuss the many
issues affecting individual homeowners and the housing industry
as the result of sub-prime loans, inflated appraisals,
foreclosure rescue and equity-stripping schemes, and other
predatory behavior that has contributed to extraordinarily high
foreclosure rates. The group is working to develop comprehensive
strategies and to catalyze solutions designed to respond to
these issues.
These approaches include consumer & homeowner outreach and
education, legislative advocacy, and working with lenders and
financial institutions to form real solutions for those who need
it. Feel free to contact UEDA for more information on this
group. One of the outcomes so far has been the creation of a
Resources Flyer, compiled by UEDA and other partners. This
one-pager lists various reputable sources of help for homeowners
and consumers.
