Nonprofit helps homeowners to prevent foreclosure and launches new initiative

to revitalize communities across the country

 

Washington, DC—HomeFree-USA is recognizing National Homeownership Month by hosting several events and classes to raise awareness of sustainable homeownership and to launch a new initiative to revitalize communities. National Homeownership Month is observed each June to highlight the critical role of homeownership in improving lives, creating jobs, and strengthening communities across America.

 

Join HomeFree-USA on Saturday, June 4th, 9:00 am – 1:00 pm, for the Modifications, Mortgage Options…Getting Through the Storm event featuring Iyanla Vanzant.  Homeowners seeking to modify their mortgages will gain a clearer understanding of the modification process and learn about other mortgage options.  Unemployed homeowners seeking mortgage relief will learn about new programs that offer assistance to help them stay in their homes.  This free event held at HomeFree-USA’s headquarters at 3401A East-West Highway, Hyattsville, MD, is positioned to help all homeowners get motivated, get inspired and get moving. Register online at http://www.homefreeusa.org/ or call (301) 891-8423. 

 

HomeFree-USA will launch a new initiative to revitalize and rebuild communities at a Special Leadership Luncheon for community, corporate, civic, and faith-based leaders on Wednesday, June 15th.  The luncheon theme is: Rebuilding Wealth: A Financial Awakening in America and will feature Reverend DeForest Soaries, author and guest on CNN’s Black in America.  Rev. Soaries will speak on, The Critical Impact of Debt and Financial Mismanagement.  

 

“Homeowners, mortgage companies and communities are still hurting from the foreclosure crisis and economic downturn” said Marcia Griffin, HomeFree-USA Founder and CEO. “Nonprofits have their hands on the ‘pulse of the people, and we have workable solutions to this crisis. We are assembling community leaders for an open, honest discussion about creating partnerships to improve the lives of citizens in our communities.”

 

Weekly classes to guide homebuyers and homeowners in buying and keeping homes, to assist delinquent homeowners, and to create credit and debt resolution strategies will continue to be held throughout the month and beyond at HomeFree-USA.
