With large numbers of Nevada residents overwhelmed by the threat of foreclosure, the State of Nevada recently established a foreclosure website and call center to field concerns about the process and help people reclaim their lives.

The website http://foreclosurehelp.nv.gov/ is a helpful potpourri of information about steps to take to prevent or deal with foreclosure, plans offered by banks, government programs, avoiding foreclosure scams, and the foreclosure process, and foreclosure counseling.  There is specific information about recent loan modification plans offered by Countrywide, Citigroup, and JP Morgan Chase Bank. A brochure about the services is available at http://foreclosurehelp.nv.gov/Brochures/NVForeclosurePlanOct08.pdf

The site also links with Nevada 211, which provides information about community resources that can help families in a desperate situations.  Potential home loss often involves other issues such as unemployment, child care, depression, special needs for seniors and person with disabilities that add to a family's burdens.

To bolster these efforts, Citigroup recently awarded $50,000 to Neighborhood Housing Services of Southern Nevada to homeowners get foreclosure counseling.  Information is available at http://www.nwsn.org or by calling or call (702) 649-0998.
