Facing Foreclosure? ACT NOW! Foreclosure Prevention Counseling Available at no cost to Washington Residents. 1.877.894.HOME
Facing Foreclosure? ACT NOW! Foreclosure Prevention Counseling Available at no cost to Washington Residents. 1.877.894.HOME

O (PRWEB) March 04, 2014 -- Washington homeowners facing foreclosure can now access brochures about homeownership counseling and mediation services in 11 languages.

The Washington State Legislature established the Foreclosure Fairness Act and the Mediation Program in 2011. The program, overseen by the Department of Commerce, is designed to help homeowners and their lenders explore possible alternatives to foreclosure and reach a resolution when possible. It assists Washington homeowners who are facing foreclosure by providing FREE homeownership counseling and information about possible mediation with their lender. While thousands of homeowners have met with housing counselors at no cost to homeowners, and hundreds have entered mediation with their lenders to avoid foreclosure, it is estimated that only 10 percent of homeowners facing foreclosure are using these resources.

The Department of Financial Institutions is charged with outreach and raising program awareness.

Program information brochures – in 11 different languages – are available online at the http://www.homeownership.wa.gov website. The toll-free hotline and website offer residents a direct link to federal- and state-approved counselors in their communities. Housing counseling services are provided with no cost to Washington homeowners, and are being funded by the state with money from lenders.

Printed versions of the Foreclosure Fairness Program brochures are also available to order online, free-of-charge. The brochure is available in the following languages:

• English
• Arabic
• Chinese
• Korean
• Russian
• Samoan
• Somali
• Spanish
• Tagalog
• Vietnamese
• Cambodian

Interested parties may order brochures through the link and instructions listed below. Ordering is easy; just create a user name and password. The order is processed and shipped at no cost. Please allow about three weeks for delivery.
