“HUD ANNOUNCES MORE THAN $10 MILLION IN COUNSELING GRANTS
 TO HELP FAMILIES DEAL WITH MORTGAGE MODIFICATION AND MORTGAGE SCAMS

In an effort to help families keep their homes and avoid mortgage scams, HUD today (09/02/11/) announced more than $10 million in housing counseling grants. This is unspent funding from the 2010 appropriation that was re-competed and awarded to HUD-approved counseling agencies.

The funding is predominately for foreclosure prevention counseling, assistance with application to Federal and other mortgage modification and loss mitigation programs, and related outreach. It will also support outreach and counseling efforts designed to identify and assist victims of mortgage modification scams, and report those cases to the applicable authorities.”

Good info.  I have looked up and distributed the list of providers for folks in Arizona.  Thanks for the headsup.  Lot's of families still in big trouble here in AZ, with no end in sight.  Still reporting 400+ foreclosures weekly and 80% of sales made up of REO's and short sales.  Buyers market my eye.  Not when the bank controls the market.  Have a great weekend.

Thanks, David!  Glad to help!  Those are some pretty steep numbers.  We are lopsided in our market with REO and short sale as well.  A REALTOR made a comment similar to yours on another of my blogs: it's not a buyer's market, it's a bank market!  Enjoy your holiday!
