The Neighborhood Community Foundation will conduct a free foreclosure-prevention workshop from 7 to 9 p.m. Dec. 20 in Oak Park at The Carleton of Oak Park Hotel, 1110 Pleasant St..
An independent, nonprofit organization based in Sarasota, Fla., the foundation strives to help residents better understand the foreclosure process, recognize their legal rights and learn about options and potential solutions so they can remain in their homes.
During the workshop, a foreclosure defense attorney will share free legal advice about common errors and violations found in loan documents and provide an explanation of the laws that protect homeowners when facing foreclosure eviction. Homeowners also will receive information from participating nonprofit agencies to help them properly assess a course of action for their needs.
Workshop topics will include loan modifications, federal foreclosure programs, loan audits, lender paybacks, steps to postpone a move, protecting against foreclosure predators, county agency resources and legal defenses.
To register, visit neighborhood-community.org or call The Neighborhood Community Foundation at 877-306-5299.
