Florida Bar announces program to help pre-foreclosure homeowners

by Mike on July 27, 2008

About to enter foreclosure and not sure what to do?  The Florida Bar has announced a new program designed to divert people homeowners from foreclosure and help them negotiate a work-out with their lenders.

The Statewide effort called FLASH (Florida Attorneys Saving Homes) has launched a toll-free hot line (866-607-2187) and will take calls from 8 a.m. through 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Callers who fear that they soon won’t be able to make their mortgage payments or who have already missed payments but are not yet in foreclosure are urged to call. Hot line callers will answer a few initial questions to ensure accurate placement with pro bono attorneys, who will then negotiate with lenders on behalf of homeowners.

The full announcement can be found on the Florida Bar website.
