County offers foreclosure prevention workshops in Longmont, Boulder
Free class gives homeowners information to help rescue troubled finances
The Boulder County Housing Authority's Housing Counseling Program will present two Foreclosure Prevention Workshops in Boulder and Longmont in June. The workshops are free and open to residents of Boulder and Broomfield Counties. No pre-registration is required.
Boulder
6 -7:30 p.m., Wednesday, June 11.
Boulder County Recycling Center, 1901 63rd Ave., Boulder
Longmont
6-7:30 p.m., Wednesday, June 18
Longmont Senior Center Gym, 910 Longs Peak Ave., Longmont
If you are having trouble making your mortgage payments or have already missed payments, this workshop will give you the information you need to make the most informed decisions about how to proceed.
The class will review the Colorado foreclosure process and timeline and will discuss the options available to borrowers; how to initiate a conversation with your lender; and what your lender needs from you. You will also learn about changes to the foreclosure process, effective January 1, 2008, which altered the timeline and eliminated the redemption period.
Borrowers who are having trouble making their payments have many more options available the earlier in the process that they can start getting help and turning around their finances.
Housing Counselors will be available to schedule one-on-one appointments for borrowers who feel that they would like to review their individual situations, get personalized recommendations, and contact their mortgage company together.
For more information about this and other Housing Counseling services, please visit our website at www.bouldercountyhc.org or call 720-564-2279.
